Tirumal, On a 'normal' system, the times in the SEL from showsel will match the Linux OS time within a few seconds. The SEL gets its time from the BIOS clock. There are a few things which could cause this to be mismatched. 1) OS & Firmware times not sync'd: When installing Linux, the OS time should be set to sync with the BIOS time. In RedHat install, this is via the "Sync with GMT time" checkbox (or soemthing like that)=20 on the time zone menu. Otherwise, the actual times could stray apart.=20 I usually set the time sync during install, so I'm not sure how to set it afterward, but=20 I believe that it can be done. 2) Sometimes the Linux system time is off/inaccurate, and can lose several minutes, even=20 hours over a long period of time due to enough interrupts occurring to miss some timer=20 interrupts. If the BIOS time is not sync'd with the OS, the BIOS time will=20 be more accurate, but different. =20 or 3) The BIOS system time was never set. If you clear CMOS for some reason, this would=20 need to be set again. =20 Andy -----Original Message----- From: pan...@li...

Subject: [Panicsel-developers] SEL time Hello All, The time the event happens is not the same as the event occured when i see show_sel output. I rebooted the machine and ran show_sel, it shows the last boot event to be 8:42 but it was around 1:00. There is no problem with the system time or the firmware, i checked those. Can u tell me what is the problem. Thank you Tirumal __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
