Every time I log into gentoo it stuffs up my system time. I dual boot with windows as well, but I have set the clock to local instead of UTC.

How can I make gentoo stop f*****g with my bios time?

Cheers.

Maybe go into your bios, before boot, and set it to local time there once...

That's easy: In /etc/conf.d/clock set
Code:
CLOCK_SYSTOHC="no"
and gentoo will never touch your hardware clock.

What exactly is the problem? I dual-boot with Windows and have no problem.

In /etc/conf.d/clock
Code:
CLOCK="local"
TIMEZONE="Europe/London"
CLOCK_OPTS=""
CLOCK_SYSTOHC="yes"

I checked the config and CLOCK_SYSTOHC was set to "no", so I changed it to yes and it seems to be ok now.

Yes - that fixed it for me too - because it is Windows that is messing
with the clock, not gentoo!
