Not sure where to report this, so reporting here.

My system time is two hours wrong, after a reboot:
$ date
Fre Apr  4 01:48:17 CEST 2008

after some ntp stuff it's correct again:

# date
Don Apr  3 23:49:31 CEST 2008
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2008-04-04 14:01:17 UTC 
What kernel, initscripts, etc? What does your /etc/adjtime file look like?
Comment 2 Need Real Name 2008-04-04 17:14:48 UTC 
# cat /etc/adjtime
0.173747 1207335251 0.000000
1207335251
LOCAL
# rpm -q kernel initscripts
kernel-2.6.24.4-64.fc8.i686
kernel-2.6.25-0.195.rc8.git1.fc9.i686
initscripts-8.67-1.i386
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2008-04-04 17:38:17 UTC 
1) which one of those are you actually booting?
2) does hwclock --hctosys set the time correctly?
Comment 4 Need Real Name 2008-04-04 17:52:28 UTC 
1. The fc9 kernel.
2. The hardware clock was two hours wrong. hwclock --systohc fixed that, but I
did not have this problem before the upgrade. We will see how it behaves across
reboots.
Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2008-04-04 17:56:17 UTC 
You probably want initscripts-8.68, specifically the fix for bug 438337.
