 |
|
I recently updated the kernel and baselayout on a couple of my Sparc boxes, and this error appeared on both of them after rebooting:
| Code: |
* Setting system clock using the hardware clock [UTC] ...
* Timed out waiting for time change.
The Hardware Clock does not contain a valid time, so we cannot adjust it.Timed out waiting for time change.
The Hardware Clock does not contain a valid time, so we cannot set the System Time from it.
* Failed to set clock You will need to set the clock yourself * [ !! ]
|
I'm not sure which update did it, and the system time was corrected by ntp, but I'd still like to correct this error. Running hwclock directly gives a similar message:
| Code: |
Timed out waiting for time change.
The Hardware Clock registers contain values that are either invalid (e.g. 50th day of month) or beyond the range we can h
andle (e.g. Year 2095).

This isn't a solution, but when you said you're not sure which update did it, I thought I'd share this.
Before I do a world update, I always do
| Code: |
date >> /home/user/Portage.log
emerge -pvuDN world >> /home/user/Portage.log
|
This way, when something breaks, I can check the log and at least know that it was something in the last entry that did it. That narrows it down a great deal. I can then roll something back and if necessary, mask the offending package version.

Well it turns out I still had baselayout-2 masked (I was updating my other machines, must've forgot this one) so it seems to be some difference between kernels 2.6.35 and 2.6.38  |

I have the same problem here, in all my SPARC boxes.
All boxes have Baselayout2 and Openrc.
With kernel 2.6.37-gentoo-r4, "hwclock" works ok.
But, after upgrading kernel to 2.6.38-gentoo-r6, "hwclock" gives that errors.

try this fix. It helped on my sparc machine with kernel 2.6.39.4.
