Hi the list, I currently experienced a problem with my Sony Vaio VGN-FE31B laptop. Each time I boot, the kernel time seems to be set with the wrong date time. When I poweroff the machine, wait for some minutes and reboot again, the kernel time is set with a few seconds after the "wrong" time on shutdown. Is it some kind of wrong bios clock used, that completely stopped when poweroff ? I use a FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT, from the 14th of January 2007. I tried the snapshot FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT-200610, no time problem. With snapshot FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT-200611, the time problem appears. I will provide you the dmesg output, when I will come back home. I have also followed the instructions at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#LAPTOP-CLOCK-SKEW with no success. Any ideas ? Thanks.
