Thanks for the journal. This shows that the error message happens way
earlier than userspace/pid 1 starts. So it's either the kernel itself,
or the initramfs. I can indeed see this error message in our ppc64el
scalingstack instances as well.
So I went through the initramfs-tools hooks and scripts and found
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/fixrtc, which indeed
does call "hwclock -s || true" (-s == --hctosys). However, while that's
promising that isn't it: That code only runs if "fixrtc" is on the
command line, which it isn't (at least for me). Adding a set -x there
also shows that it runs after the error message:
