(hardy)Clock mis-set after install ?

[xerces8]

Hi!

(I'm a computer enthusiast for 20 years now, been redhat linux official beta team member for years
and work as a sotware engineer)

Yesterday I installed Ubuntu from the hardy-desktop-i386 CD.

After that I noticed that the system clock (HW/BIOS clock) is set wrong. It was running correct for
years before ...

The system is not networked, neither did I change the time. So ubuntu should have no reason to
assume the BIOS clock is wrong.

Any idea what happened ?
Does this sound familiar ?

I tried to reproduce this under vmware, but failed. I guess vmware synches the emulated BIOS clock
to the hosts system clock so it obscured the problem (if it happened at all).

Regards,
David
