Hi rogue, can you explain this? I shutdowned my q7 after the last post at around 14:40 (2:40pm) local time. The clock on q7 was displaying 15:10 (3:10pm); about half an hour too fast. Since the q7 was pluged into main AC, it was on automatically. After system boot, I checked the clock again. It said 14:43 (2:43pm) which was the correct time. So, I checked the log file. This is the first line in the syslog:

Aug 30 14:42:05 Suwat kernel: Linux version 2.6.24.7 (root@yousheng) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2008q3-72) ) #1291 PREEMPT Tue Jun 30 10:25:48 CST 2009

Look at the entry time. It's the correct time of day. So, I got the correct time when I just booted-up the system. And after a while, the clock would be too fast. Then if I re-boot the system, I will get the correct time again. It's illogical to me. How could q7 know the correct time after its clock ran wild?
