IIRC this can happen if your clock isn't running. nslu2s ship with a
hardware clock that's turned off, and it's started running once the
clock is set. Typically this happens if you use the web interface
that
ships on the slug to set the clock. If you don't do so before
installing
Debian, you might still not have a running clock.
Try using hwclock to set the clock, and see if that clears up the
problem.
I tried that as well. No dice.
# hwclock --systohc
This causes the system to lock-up as well.
I had this problem with an nslu2 that I hadn't used for quite some
time, and then I installed debian.
I resolved the issue by disconnecting the nslu2 from all power, then
removing the cmos battery, leaving it out for a while and then
replacing it. Afterwards the system clock worked properly, although
the time was initially set to the epoch.
