[Assist] Trouble with the hardware clock

[Fran]

Hey Wilbur,

passing the extra flag to hwclock as described in the post you linked
does allow one to set the time and date from the system clock while
running linux-libre-4.3.3_gnu1. I am not sure how to convince systemd
to use that flag however, so I am back to using a 4.2 kernel.

Cheers,
Fran
