Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2010-11-24 01:54:51 UTC 
Do you have initscripts-legacy installed?
Comment 2 Clyde E. Kunkel 2010-11-24 14:57:37 UTC 
No.  Should I?
Comment 3 Lennart Poettering 2010-11-24 22:29:10 UTC 
Could you paste /etc/adjtime please?

What is the result of 'systemctl is-enabled hwclock-load.service ; echo $?'
Comment 4 Clyde E. Kunkel 2010-11-24 22:46:16 UTC 
this is with clock showing UTC when local time is wanted:


[kunkelc@P5K-EWIFI ~]$ cat /etc/adjtime
-5.875116 1290638232 0.000000
1290638232
LOCAL
[kunkelc@P5K-EWIFI ~]$ systemctl is-enabled hwclock-load.service ; echo $?
1
[kunkelc@P5K-EWIFI ~]$
Comment 5 Lennart Poettering 2010-11-25 01:50:22 UTC 
Hmm, OK. this happens because i forgot to enable hwclock-load.service on package install. I have now fixed that in the .spec file in 15.

On your machine please fix this manually with "systemctl enable hwclock-load.service".
Comment 6 Clyde E. Kunkel 2010-11-25 02:05:06 UTC 
That fixed it.  Thanks.
Comment 7 Felix Miata 2011-01-04 14:39:49 UTC 
I converted an F15 to Rawhide day before yesterday, with the problem reported here resulting. I had to 'systemctl enable hwclock-load.service' to get my clock right.
Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2011-01-04 15:36:04 UTC 
as I read the fix, it won't work for updates of an already-installed systemd-units package, indeed - only for the first install of that package (including the first time it's installed to replace upstart, so it'll work okay on f14->f15 upgrades).
