In particular, is /usr on a separate partition? The time zone (on my system, at least) is set by a symlink from /etc/localtime to a particular file under /usr/share/zoneinfo/. I had the same problem when I had /usr separate from the root partition (where /etc was), as mount -a is run after the clock is set up, so the symlink didn't work when it was needed. Copying the appropriate file from zoneinfo to /etc/localtime fixed the problem. -- Michael
