Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hal
Installing Karmic Koala Beta on hardware without a functional system
clock is not possible. I briefly see an error message about hal time
sync (or similar!) and then the whole computer hangs. This is from the
live CD, trying to build a laptop with a new hard-drive. Compaq Evo
n610c - compaq DO NOT have a BIOS ability to set the clock - so no
install is possible. This is the only distro I have tried which fails to
boot on this hardware. Only way to fix this (I know of) is to fix the
clock, install a different OS to set the time, then install Karmic.
Would be simpler if it just asked for the date :-)
