Description Casual J. Programmer 2008-05-22 22:11:23 UTC 
On a clean installation & update from factory ( post Beta3 ) the time shown after boot is two hours in advance of actual.

I.e. 02.07:58 ( clock applet )
date
Fri May 23 02:08:14 CEST 2008
hwclock
Fri 23 May 2008 12:08:27 AM CEST  -0.809012 seconds

According to yast timezone hardware clock is not running on UTC

Windows XP shows correct time after booting.

I also think that this is a different bug from bug 384254.

I did insserv boot.clock, but after booting, i get the time shift by my time zone (2 hours).

I have to run hwclock --hctosys to get the correct time from date and friends.

This was not the case before i ran insserv boot.clock !

Thanks for considering - Michael
Comment 4 Dr. Werner Fink 2008-05-30 09:35:19 UTC 
Would you please run

        insserv /etc/init.d/boot.clock
        insserv /etc/init.d/boot.getclock

Then check if your hardware clock is running in UTC, check if
HWCLOCK in /etc/sysconfig/clock is set to "-u".

Golly gosh: I did in fact have "HWCLOCK="--localtime" in /etc/sysconfig/clock. 

Sorry for the noise...

Thank you!
