Package: util-linux Version: 2.12r-19 Followup-For: Bug #411888 I found this on my new laptop, where I decided to use localtime for the hwclock due to some other installed OS.
I found that if I run hwclock before udev is started, everything works just fine, but after udev is started, I need to add --directisa to the hwclock-call.
