- The hardware clock may have been reset,
- if the NVRAM battery was removed for some reason.
- Use the above command in GNU/Linux, assuming that you've set the system time accurately.

- This seems to be an issue in Linux kernel version 4.3 and higher, though it
- may also affect older releases. We know that it does not affect Linux kernel
- version 3.13 (the one used in Trisquel 7, which many libreboot developers and
- users use). A bisect of the upstream linux kernel Git repository is in order,
- so that we can find out which commit introduced this issue, and submit a patch
- to fix it.

<strong>Use libreboot-unstable releases for now (until next stable release):
<a href="https://libreboot.org/beta/">libreboot.org/beta</a> or build
from libreboot.git. This was a bug in coreboot, fixed upstream and merged
- in libreboot-unstable. You will need to reset the century byte (just
- clear CMOS/NVRAM, then set date again using hwclock).</strong>
