Re: [PATCH] ppc64 iSeries: fix boot time setting

Am I the only one who has problems with the signature mark ("-- ") prior to the patch. For example, this is a reply with quoting the original message. My mailer (mozilla) dropped everything after the "-- " in the original. If someone knows how to change mozilla to fix this, I welcome the help.

Hi all,

For quite a while, there has existed a hypervisor bug on legacy iSeries
which means that we do not get the boot time set in the kernel. This
patch works around that bug. This was most noticable when the root
partition needed to be checked at every boot as the kernel thought it was
some time in 1905 until user mode reset the time correctly.
