Description
For me at least - I have my system clock set to UTC and my timezone set to IST using /etc/default/rcS and /etc/localtime - everytime my phone is rebooted it shows me weird times. To fix it I had to change line number 54 of /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh from
hwclock --systohc
to
TZ="$TZ" hwclock --systohc

Replying to carllobo:
I had the problem of incorrect system time after reboot, too. Seems like http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1851. My settings:
symlink: /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
/etc/default/rcS: UTC=yes
I could get the correct time after reboot using /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh from OM2008.12/testing. File is attached.
P.S.: It shouldn't be necessary to set TZ via /etc/default/rcS if you have set your local time using /etc/localtime.

- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to fixed
I just tried that with a current unstable image and timezone set to Europe/Berlin?.
Note: you have to install tzdate-europe to have that timezone installed.
After a reboot the time is still correct.
