Hello!

## I am use SLED11 SP1 (fully updated) in UTC+4 time zone, but after reboot my local time shift to UTC, although is still UTC+4 in system settings. Hardware clock set to UTC time but while boottime kernel take it like correct with time zone time and finally clock in the lower right corner shows right time - 4 hours. How can I fix it?
