After adding this HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa" to /etc/default/rcS, rebooting, and running either of these hwclock --show hwclock --set --date="23 Apr 2007 13:06:46" I still get the message select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out > You might have to try some of the other options described in "man > hwclock".

In any case, though, it seems that times are recorded correctly and only the displayed times are goofy. As I mentioned, if I make a file on a flash drive and list it on another computer, it shows the correct time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
