I have the following APM options compiled into my 2.2.12 kernel:

  CONFIG_APM=y
  CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y
  CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF=y

and my clock seems to be losing time. Its much slower however, I have lost
about 2 minutes in about 2 weeks. Not sure if its the system or hardware
clock. How do I check ??

Also, why would APM reset the time and date ?

Also, does rebooting the system have any effect on the timekeeping system
??

I poweroff/shutdown my debian system at home when I go the work in the
morning and I turn it on when I get home. I leave it powered up all weekend
however.

Thanks.
