[Cooker] 7.1 sparc install loses time

[T Korte]

I have installed the above on an Ultra 1 Creator and I've found that it does
not keep track of the time when the system is turned off.  In other words, if I
have the machine turned off then it comes back up with the same date and time
as when I turned it off.  While booting up it gives me the message that it's
setting the clock and I was wondering if that's causing it to revert to a time
that it had stored while powering off.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
