This appears to be an error with the date } rather than the file system. During boot, the system seems to assume } that the hardware clock is set to UTC when it is infact CST.

Details and workaround at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=343662 (bug 343645 is the same issue, FWIW). Or you can stick with 1.38 for the time being. --- end paste --- Hopefully, this will get you going again. I simply went into BIOS and changed the time for the one time I have dealt with this now. I still need to take the time to review the fix and implement it. -- D.
