Correct. I had this similiar problem due to nonY2K fashioned BIOS.
This helped:
- Set system clock to actual date & time, using 'timetool' or the
'clock',e.g 'hwclock' command.
- Do a
hwclock --adjust
at the shell prompt. this could already help in your case, because it
creates an 'adjust' file which
does a regular system clock update for you by evaluating time differences
in the system.
Then, if after reboot, it still doesn't keep time/date, put these lines
into the file /etc/rc.local
hwclock --hctosys --badyear
hwclock --systohc --badyear
hwclock --systohc --localtime
Reboot the machine & see it keeping time ok then.
