boot fails due to timezone problem!
Since my last update (mixed testing/unstable), my laptop fails to boot
with the error: "Checking root file system.../: Superblock last mount
time is in the future". This appears to be an error with the date
rather than the file system. During boot, the system seems to assume
that the hardware clock is set to UTC when it is infact CST. After
boot, (e.g. if I set the date), the system correctly treats the HW clock
as CST. Any suggestions?
The following are from three sequential attampts to boot the system:
Checking root file system.../: Superblock last mount time is in the future
/: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
failed!
* An automatic fsck upon the root filesystem failed.
* A manual fsck must be performed, and the system rebooted.
* This fsck can be performed in maintenance mode.
* Please note, the root filesystem is currently mounted read-only.
* The fsck should only be performed while the root filesystem is
* mounted read-only. However, the command to remount it read-write
* is:
* # mount -n -o remount,rw /
* In order to exit from teh maintenance shell, press CONTROL-D
* and the system will REBOOT.
