Hello,
        I have an 7260 with RTC. Very first time, I set the kernel clock using 
the date command 'date -u etc.. then I set the hw clock from the kernel 
time. I did this only once.

In my linuxrc file, I set the  kernel clock from the hardware clock.

        Since the below statements are in the linuxrc file, the kernel clock 
gets updated every time it boots up.

---
hwclockfirst.sh stop
hwclockfirst.sh start
---

I have a cron job that puts the 7260 in sleep (it has a ts-bat3 
connected) and wakes up every hour, does some sensor recording and goes 
back to sleep.

Here is the problem... the kernel date seems to jump at 'midnight' and 
at 'noon'. I do not think this is a hardware problem as the the jumps in 
date and time is always to the hour. Also, the jumps revert back at 
'noon' to the correct date. There is a pattern and I am unable to figure 
it out. Below is output from each wake time... Any thoughts, suggestions 
appreciated...

01/30/11 06:08 (correct date and time)
01/30/11 07:08 (correct again...)
01/30/11 08:08 (correct again...)
01/30/11 09:08 (correct again...)
01/30/11 10:08 (correct again...)
01/30/11 11:08 (correct again...)
02/02/11 20:08 (This is jump, both in date and time)
