hang trying to sync hardware clock ...

[Adam Shand <larry@alaska.net>]

hey.

i'm hoping someone knows the answer to this.  i'm trying to do a fresh
potato install and i've had this problem no matter what i try and do.  i get
to the point where i reboot off of the hard drive, everything boots up as
normal until this point:

Starting portmap daemon: portmap.

Setting the System Clock using the Hardware Clock as reference...

and then it hangs forever (i even left it over night and it never made it
past this).

i told it to set the hardware clock to GMT, am using the 2.2 features of
ext2 and have a large ide drive (13.6 gb) which are the only things i've
done differently from any other install.

is this a known bug?

any help appreciated, thanks.
