I just installed new-powerpc Debian (testing) on my Apple iBook. I dual-boot with Mac OS X. I am running the stock kernel that came with the new-powermac installation, 2.4.18-newpmac.
When Linux boots, it sets is time to 14 hours ahead of what it should be, whereas Mac OS X has the correct idea of the time. Is there a quick fix for this? Something in a config file that I can tweak? There's a web page where someone describes having that same problem (near the bottom of the page): http://gecius.de/linux/IBook2.html He mentions that Ben H. (of iBook kernel fame) said that you need to get get Mac OS X to have the RTC be set to Universal time, but doesn't say how to actually do this. Do others experience this? I searched the powerpc mailing lists for "time" and "clock", but I didn't see anything. I don't know what package to check to see if this has been reported as a bug. I did find a possibly related bug report, but I'm not sure, and the original author didn't say what architecture the machine was. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=172675 As an aspiring Debian maintainer, I'd like to track this down, but I don't want to spend time fixing something that already has a solution. Any advice/knowledge/thoughts would be welcome. sincerely, Craig Steffen -- http://www.craigsteffen.net/contact/ current goal: use a CueCat scanner to inventory my books career goal: be the first Vorlon Time Lord
