Hey,
I have an issue with the Date/Time.
When I boot it displays the Date/Time set is wrong, and will be corrected within a minute by ntpd, but as soon as I reboot it's back to the old one...
The BIOS had a bad value, but I fixed it and it does not change when I reboot, so that part *seems* ok.
This started maybe a week ago or so (I had some power problems and had many unexpected shutdowns, maybe that's why...)
I am not sure what to do...
Info:
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
I also have another ArchLinux install on this computer (that I rarely use, only to fix the main one), and one instance of Windows that I haven't used in a while.
If anyone has an idea that'd be great!
Thanks

Have you set your system time to the hardware time? (see the wiki)

I have the same problem: whenever i boot my Arch i find KDE's system clock set to a wrond time and usually to aug 3rd.
My rc.conf says
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
[...]
DAEMONS=(!hwclock ...)
Enabling the hwclock daemon or changing HARDWARECLOCK to "localtime" or to "" doesn't fix this.
Any suggestion?

Check the wiki for Time Skew. If that doesn't work, look up and install ntp
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

I think I solved it myself before reading Inxsible's hint
I set the correct time in KDE, and verified it was correct tiping
sudo date
in the terminal.
Then I adjusted the hardware clock syncronizing it with KDE's clock
sudo hwclock --systohc
and checked the change with
sudo hwclock --show
It survived first reboot, hope it will go on this way

I just tried that too let's see if it works!
