Ahhh… So the fact that I have ntp installed is what’s saving me? FWIW, I also have fake-hwclock installed on tis machine. I don’t recall exactly what made me do that, but maybe I was already having this problem back then, and solved it that way? Curiouser and curiouser, cried Alice! Rick PS: So AIUI from your explanation, under systemd the setting of the system clock from the hardware clock is being done in the kernel, and not in user space at all? Was this (moving it out of user space) done to get the clock set before the first entries were written to the system log? Or am I missing something… Enjoy!
