I'm having problems with one of my Gentoo systems who's motherboard
clock is a little slow. When the system comes up, the system time is
set from the motherboard clock. If that's slow, something in the init
system seems to panic because some file or other has a timestamp in
the future.
Just to make it extra convenient, it clears the console screen when
that happens so there's no actual record of what went wrong or which
component in th init process is failing.
Going into the BIOS setup and setting the time ahead a minute or two
will allow the system to start up normally.
Is there any way to disable this "feature"?
