This patch causes a CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y,
CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y kernel on a ppc64 G5 to hang immediately after
displaying the penguins, but apparently not before having set the hardware
clock backwards 101 years.
After having carefully reviewed the above description and having decided that these effects were not a part of the patch's design intent I have temporarily set it aside, thanks. (Log in to post comments)
Quote of the week Posted Mar 18, 2005 7:35 UTC (Fri) by njhurst (guest, #6022) [Link] I regularly have a problem with my pismo reseting its clock to 1904 (the start of the mac clock) when I let the battery go completely flat. I wonder if it's the same problem?
The biggest problem is that ntp-date refuses to restore a clock that is too far behind. I have a little script which sets the clock to the atime of a file to fix this, but I wish someone would fix it properly :)

You could even write a simple script to set the hwclock to a recent value (e.g., 2005-03-24) on boot. USD$0.02,
