P.S.
This bug causes my system (a Dell Dimension 8400) to assume my hardware clock is set to UTC (GMT), even though it is not. My time zone is set correctly and /etc/sysconfig/clock contains UTC=false. The result is that rebooting sets my linux clock 7 or 8 hours earlier than it should be. The init script workaround below gets rid of the time shift problem.

When running hwclock manually, you can use the --directisa option.
For the sake of startup and shutdown scripts, you can work around the problem by adding this line to /etc/sysconfig/clock:
CLOCKFLAGS=--directisa
