I've got the same problem. /etc/rc.sysinit doesn't bother to
do anything with the ZONE variable defined in /etc/sysconfig/clock
so in rc.sysinit, I inserted:
TZ="$ZONE"; export TZ
to be line 102 right before:
/sbin/hwclock $CLOCKFLAGS
and this fixes it. However, I just check the scripts and files
in my old YDL 1.1 installation and they don't look at ZONE or TZ
either, so it's not clear how YDL 1.1 got it right but 2.0 gets
it wrong.
