Occasionally, on a shutdown and COMPLETE power off, my Toshiba 2515CDS with SuSE 6.1 seemed to revert to Pacific time (which I changed back in August) and the Power Savings Features return to stock BIOS. YaST took care of my Timezone problem ... the power savings features have to be manually reset via '[ESC] - F1' though. I will try to keep a better log of this now.
