Hi All,
I have a little problem regarding time. After every boot I have to
setup my clock because about my machine the current time is +2 hour
more. To be honest, this is a little bit annoying.
What I did:

Sure thing. However, it is much faster to type `echo foo> bar` than

The echo example might have been a bit blunt. I've found myself using echo

Meh, I clicked 'Send' too fast.
*My* suggested solution:
Generate an initramfs containing udev. The hands-down easiest way is
using genkernel's 'only create an initramfs' switch (sorry I forgot
what exactly).
This needs to be done exactly once throughout the life of your VM.
