RE: SETTING SYSTEM CLOCK

["Holp, John Mr." <holpj@nwc.navy.mil>]

If you want to force the systems clock time to be that if the hardware clock
time do:

hwclock -s

	or

hwclock --hctosys

all syntax in this instance is lower case

That should not be in caps, unless your terminal is seriously screwed up.
But it's a good thing to notice that patch to better document the hwclock
script paid back...

You want to muck around with /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh

To boot without running that script (and therefore locking your system), you
can try giving the init=/bin/bash command to the kernel in the LILO command
prompt.

You need to read the manpage for the hwclock utility, and verify what
options are needed to avoid locking your machine. One option that I think
might help you is --directisa.  If that fails, comment out the hwclock line
and use some other means to adjust the clock.
