See the header of one my email I sent on 1 jan 2000:

After booting my alpha the 1 jan 2000 the year gone to 2052. IIRC the
hour:minutes:day:month infos was fine instead.

I still have problems now the first time I give the power to the machine
(after a poweroff/poweron the machine time goes in the past of a few
hours, all was fine before y2k as far I can tell).

I never dual-booted my alpha (only linux always run on it).

Maybe SRM is doing something strange before linux gets booted?
