clock error?

[clock error?]

My newly installed gentoo machines is runnin 2 hours ahead of what it should be.

I did make the correct symlink to timezone and in the "rc.conf" i did change the time to: "local"

In the bios the time is correct, what am i doing wrong?

is your bios-clock set to local time or gmt ???

usually, your bios should be set to gmt.. (unless you have win installed)

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Copenhagen /etc/localtime

is there anymore i should do?

BTW its at Dell Inspiron 8200.

No Copenhagen is +1 hour. But i want to have my bios set for localtime and i want the system to use the correct wich it dosnt seems to do.

well.. +1 hour, but now (summer) we have so called DST (daylight saving time) which adds 1 hour = +2h also called somme/wintertime....

if your bios clock is set to localtime, you dont need to choose a different timezone.... namely GMT..
