I can't keep the clock on the right time. This Dell 8600 Laptop has a brand new mobo in it. So it seems crazy that the battery would be dead already. Windoze shows the same behavior.
Thanks, Rob
Is the clock bouncing between two hour times while the minute stays more
or less correct? If so, then Gentoo is probably setting the hardware clock
to UTC (universal time, or Greenwich Mean Time) when it shuts down, and
Windoze is expecting local time on bootup... They may be messing with each
other??
Check /etc/rc.conf and see if clock says "UTC" or "local". If it says UTC, than that is the problem (as Windows doesn't support having a different OS clock than bios clock).
Gentoo does set the clock to UTC according to boot messages. Perhaps this is the whole problem. How do I fix it?
