I don't really know about this part - but could just be that the other
distro doesn't have correct time zone set up.

Recently understood; please see here:

Ah, that is interesting.  That would explain why I have stopped seeing
this problem.  (I've been trying out SHR testing, and now my RTC is
working even when I switch back to Debian.  I was struggling to
understand why that was.)

[QtMoko] hwclock issue

2010-01-26 Thread Joif

Hi!
I'm using QtMoko v16b on the NAND and I have other distro on the uSD.
My time is GMT+1 and when I have to choose the correct time on QtMoko I set
it on the Paris time zone. But when I use another distro I see that the time
reported is exactly GMT not GMT+1. Also, some time after a reboot (and
specially after using Debian) I see during the boot an error message about
the impossibility to read the hardware clock and to set the time to
01/01/1970. This error disappears from the boot only if I remove the
battery.

This is what I have if I give date and hwclock in the terminal of QtMoko:
neo:~# date
Tue Jan 26 23:54:02 CET 2010
neo:~# hwclock
Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.
