here is the data iv gathered: :~# date ( wrong, in the root shell that i was given after the system failed to boot) Sat Oct 3 22:50:39 EST 2009
real time: @desktop:~$ date (correct, on my other computer) Sat Oct 3 23:53:58 EST 2009 bios reports: System time: 23:54:50 (correct, bios on the computer that failed to boot) System Date: 10/03/2009 on a healthy system: r...@desktop:~# date Sun Oct 4 00:09:33 EST 2009 r...@desktop:~# hwclock Sun 04 Oct 2009 00:09:36 EST -0.555512 seconds r...@desktop:~# date Sun Oct 4 00:09:40 EST 2009 on a broken system: r...@nick-laptop:~# date Sat Oct 3 23:07:57 EST 2009 r...@nick-laptop:~# hwclock Sat Oct 4 00:08:23 2009 -0.953406 seconds r...@nick-laptop:~# date Sat Oct 3 23:08:30 EST 2009 however if i leave my laptop for an hour, it will boot again. i cannot have more than 1 reboot per hour as while booting the time is wrong and the current time will appear in the past. POSSIBLE WORK AROUND: i can boot if i change the time 1 hour into the future (in bios) so when ubuntu runs hwclock and then saves the time wrong it is still in the "past". please confirm if this workaround is effective for you. oddly enough however the time is still right once its fully booted. -- difficult to recover from filesystem errors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432237 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
