Bug found in FC3

Thu Mar 10 21:15:26 UTC 2005

No, the bug is not in KDE

I have the exactly same bug on a brand new Dell dimension 4700 under gnome 
or even from console. If you read carefully the original post you'll see 
that the error message appears even in the system logs without any human 
intervention. It is clearly or a bug in Fedora or malign interaction with 
some hardware/BIOSes. needless to say, when looking into the BIOS the date 
is perfectly ok and when booting on XP (the machine has dual boot) there 
is no issue at all with the date. The bug is nasty, since it is impossible 
to keep a correct date on the machine and it has to be set "by hand"
at every boot, when in Linux, using a command which does not sync the
hardware clock (like date).

                        Regards
                       Alfredo Ferrari
