Hmm, according to the initscript, /etc/init.d/clock isn't supposed to |
| 22 |
care about the CLOCK_SYSTOHC option until stop(). But it is supposed |
| 23 |
to set the *system* clock to the hardware clock, so that if the |
| 24 |
hardware clock is right at boot time, so should be the system clock. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I'm not sure, but I suspect that somehow the clock device that |
| 27 |
/sbin/hwclock is supposed to be talking to is actually static for |
| 28 |
some reason, and doesn't match your BIOS clock. |

That deserves looking into: I'd start with the kernel config. Maybe |
| 31 |
something about /dev/rtc? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
But the quick fix is probably rc-update del clock. I don't know if |
| 34 |
that's a Bad Thing To Do (TM), but nobody screamed when I asked about |
| 35 |
it in #gentoo. |

Have a great day, |
