Subject: Problem in clock setting
Date: Sat, 31 May 2003 04:22:32 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030531042233.713c7bf9.sangel@eth.net> (raw)
Hi,
I have installed RedHat Linux 9.0 in my home PC. My BIOS clock
is set to local time. During installation of RH 9.0 I have selected my
time zone as Asia/Calcutta and the UTC box unchecked. But while booting
I am getting the message as if the hardware clock is set UTC and as a
result the system clock is set 5 hrs 30 minutes more to make it
IST(Asia/Calcutta). But since my hardware clock is already IST
localtime it results a wrong system clock. I am able to solve the
problem by adding the command "/sbin/hwclock --hctosys " at the end
of /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file ( before the " wait " ).
In rc.sysinit file there is one command
" /sbin/hwclock $CLOCKFLAGS "
I have echoed the CLOCKFLAGS variable and it shows as I expected
the following
--hctosys --localtime
My question is why the time is recognized
as UTC ?( Other OS in my PC does not have any problem in the clock. I
have been installing all RH versions since 6.2 and this problem is for
the first time. Also, in my office PC I installed RH 9.0 and the clock
is fine)
Thanks in advance for any reply.
Sorry if I am not properly conveying my problem.
