It appears that your battery is > degrading and may need to be replaced. But it's right when it boots: if I hit F1 and check in the CMOS before lilo loads, the clock is accurate. If I go into Windows through lilo, the clock is accurate there. But when I load a linux kernel, it gets reset. (rebuilding a kernel from scratch is on my list of things to do today now.) That's why I didn't think initally that it was the battery. Would a dying battery cause this kind of behavior? TIA, Rob -- "Keyboard not detected. Press F4 to reboot."
