Let me rephrase. A physical device has to have a software |
| 7 |
representation for software to "connect" to it. I'm trying to suggest |
| 8 |
that something is wrong with that interface. Clearly Abhay's BIOS |
| 9 |
clock doesn't jive with what the system *thinks* the hardware clock |
| 10 |
says. /etc/init.d/clock also doesn't break or give an error when he |
| 11 |
runs it (I guess). So that leaves that there is some interface giving |
| 12 |
a syntactically-correct WRONG ANSWER as to the time, at boot time. |
