Note the above is currently from the future. Apparently the PC you are emailing
from is advanced one day.
Must be a result of my Setup menu activities. Debian says it is 07:48 AM
(5 hours late) but I put in the local time from my cell phone in Setup
this morning. Maybe I need to set the HW to UTC?
That's the preferred time for *nix installations. Check what's in /etc/adjtime
to confirm. HW clock needs to match it. Now you're showing 5 hours late.
I've been wondering what you do with all those
systems, too. It would be much more productive if we worked together.
I'm pretty much self-taught.
Mostly I try to replicate reported problems and assist in finding solutions,
identifying bugs, and doing bug QA. It's getting harder because my supply of
free PCs to use for the purpose dried up before UEFI started to show up.
Do you ever come to Atlanta? I'm North of it, in Roswell.
I've never stopped there except to fuel passing through between here and
Wisconsin or Nashville. Last such trip was probably around 25 years ago.
Before you give up, it might be worth more investigation of GPT boot foibles
outside the Debian zone. Archlinux docs are consistently among the best
regardless of distro in use. You might yet have a solution using a simple
procedure applied to what you have already done, if only it can be identified.
