Time, time, time


I've looked at every thread and tried everything, set NTP with Yast, /usr/sbin/ntpdate and closest server numbers and Suse still gets the time wrong. I'm running 3 Linux OS's on 2 drives. The other two hold time fine, but not Suse. I use UTC when I reset the time. I've run out of ideas. Any adice would be appreciated greatly.

The time is drifting. Gains about a half hour in a hour turned off. Right now I'm trying "Global PST8PDT, UTC". I tried ETC GMT-7 and that didn't work. Tricky. When I'm booted into Suse it hold the time fine. I use Suse almost exclusively but when I shut it down the time screws up.

Thanks for the replies. I fixed it. I looked at my BIOS before but misread it,duh. Looked again and it was off an hour +. It's been holding OK for a couple of hours now, booting in and out of other OS's and shutting down, so it must be OK!
