date wrong when ext3 fs mounted, 2.6.12-rc kernels

[Ken Moffat <ken@kenmoffat.uklinux.net>]

Hi,

 this isn't specifically a debian issue.  I've been running 2.6.12-rc6
on an iBook G4 for a week or so, and it's recently started to fsck /home
on boot because it hasn't been checked for an unfeasibly large number of
days.  Fortunately, I think I've now got pbbuttonsd tamed, so I'm not
having to poweroff/boot very often now.

 Last night I booted, and after I'd logged in I looked at dumpe2fs for
the /home fs - although I'd only just mounted it, the 'last mount time'
was Mon Aug 22 02:33:35 2005 instead of the expected Wed Jun 15 23:45:00
2005 or thereabouts.  By the time I logged in, ntp had corrected the
date.  Somebody on another list said he'd seen something similar on a
mac mini around 2.6.12-rc4 and it was solved by altering something in
his .config, but there are a *lot* of differences there - anybody got
any pointers on what to look at for this ?
