According to the Install Guide (gentoo-build.html): |

13.Final steps: timezone |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
At this point, you should have a stage3 system that's ready for final |
| 5 |
configuration. We'll start this process by setting the timezone. By |
| 6 |
setting the timezone before building the kernel we ensure that users get |
| 7 |
reasonable uname -a output. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Look for your timezone (or GMT if you using Greenwich Mean Time) in |
| 10 |
/usr/share/zoneinfo. Then, make a symbolic link by typing: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/path/to/timezonefile /etc/localtime |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
This I did: |
| 15 |
# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime |
| 16 |
and then built my kernel and rebooted. But now I have: |
| 17 |
# uname -a |
| 18 |
Linux penguin.ruskin 2.4.19-win4lin #1 Thu Aug 29 14:42:11 Local time |
| 19 |
zone must be set--see zic manu i686 AuthenticAMD |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
... and I do *not* call that reasonable uname -a output. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Can anyone shed any light here? I have two gentoo installations on the |
| 24 |
same box - 1.2 and 1.4beta and both exhibit this behaviour. |

BTW, `zdump Europe/London` correctly shows: |
