Boot fail after system clock changed

coder · 2009-11-01 15:06:41

Hi!

I've changed the system clock in BIOS, after that I've got an error message.
Grub was loading until reached the /dev/sda3 check and suddenly stopped and asked the root pass.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to type in my pass because of hu_HU charset.
After that I restored the original date and now everything is fine except the date (At the moment the date is: 2009 Monday 17:35:13)

How Can I set up the correct date and what was that error?

I appreciate every help.

Thx.

Did you see an error message? Could have been a problem with the file system. I guess if the date in the file system is before the current date, this could cause problems. Why not use ntp? Then you always have the correct time.

That was the problem I guess. I don't know ntp. I was wondering if you'd tell me more about ntp.

It is really not that difficult to setup, if you follow this article:

I use openntp and it works great.

Thanks MadTux!

It works fine now.

If anyone has the problem of last mount in the future on a computer with no internet connection, just log in as root and use the date command to change the time forward, then set it back after a successful boot. Alternately, just wait until the time of last mount would no longer be interpreted as in the future.

If I may a small question not about that:

I'm going to change my cpu/vga on next week.
Do I need to do some preparations or just change the hardwares?

Thx.

I am pretty sure this is the DST/localtime problem:

I solved it by changing to UTC and set RealTimeIsUniversal in Windows for dual boot.
