Subject:	[gentoo-user] System won't boot if CMOS clock is slow

1	I'm having problems with one of my Gentoo systems who's motherboard
2	clock is a little slow. When the system comes up, the system time is
3	set from the motherboard clock. If that's slow, something in the init
4	system seems to panic because some file or other has a timestamp in
5	the future.
6
7	Just to make it extra convenient, it clears the console screen when
8	that happens so there's no actual record of what went wrong or which
9	component in th init process is failing.
10
11	Going into the BIOS setup and setting the time ahead a minute or two
12	will allow the system to start up normally.
13
14	Is there any way to disable this "feature"?
