Subject: 2.4.x kernel uptime counter problem
Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 11:08:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060119110834.bb048266.rumi_ml@rtfm.hu> (raw)

Hello!

I've got a Linux system running the 2.4.26 kernel which was about
to pass the 500 day mark these days and now suddenly what I see is
that the uptime counter has reset:

$ uname -a && w && cat /proc/uptime && last -1 reboot
Linux quasar 2.4.26 #3 SMP Tue Sep 7 09:22:08 CEST 2004 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
 09:38:08 up 1 day, 12:49,  5 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

reboot   system boot  2.4.26           Tue Sep  7 18:47         (498+15:50)

>From the above it can be seen that the system is running continuously
and wasn't rebooted 36 hours ago as the uptime counter would suggest.

Is this a known bug?

Regards,

Sab
