I think it's /etc/conf.d/clock and mine has

CLOCK_SYSTOHC="yes"

Again, this is a relatively recent problem. Maybe a month ago it was
fine, and then somewhere along the way it changed.

I'm currently executing a 'shutdown -F -r now' command. It found the
problem on the first partition, fixed it, rebooted, and that sector
seems fixed. It's now working on the second sector. I'll have to see
if that fixes all of them, and whether they stay fixed after a
powerdown, etc.

Thanks for the ideas.
