I manually set correct time using sites like worldtimezone.com. Then, I
shutdown the system and boot after a few hours. What I see is that Gentoo
sets the system time to the same one at which I halted it. For example if I
shutdown 4 hours ago at 14:00 hrs and boot at 18:00 hrs, it will still set
the time to 14:00 hrs instead of the correct time.

here is my /etc/conf.d/clock.
---------------------------------
# /etc/conf.d/clock
CLOCK="local"
CLOCK_OPTS=""
CLOCK_SYSTOHC="no" (have tried both yes and no)
SRM="no"
ARC="no"
---------------------------------
I am not using ntp or any other such softwares
Hmm, according to the initscript, /etc/init.d/clock isn't supposed to
care about the CLOCK_SYSTOHC option until stop(). But it is supposed
to set the *system* clock to the hardware clock, so that if the
hardware clock is right at boot time, so should be the system clock.
I'm not sure, but I suspect that somehow the clock device that
/sbin/hwclock is supposed to be talking to is actually static for
some reason, and doesn't match your BIOS clock.
That deserves looking into: I'd start with the kernel config. Maybe
something about /dev/rtc?
But the quick fix is probably rc-update del clock. I don't know if
that's a Bad Thing To Do (TM), but nobody screamed when I asked about
it in #gentoo.
Have a great day,
Mike
