             This is from the Centos-arm list.

              
              I have this running on a number of Centos7-armfhp
              Cubieboards.

            
          There is a quicker workaround here:

          
          https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074002#c7
            

          But it's only for battery-backed RTC.
          

          Best would be to have merge this feature into systemd or
            dracut I would say.

          
    Better handling of boot time for SOCs without RTC battery is needed.

    
    I noticed that this build is coming up with a time of Jun 22 this
    year, rather than the old way of starting with EPOCH time.  How does
    it get this time?  Is it from a timestamp on a file?  the installer
    could mount the root partition and touch the file used and thus
    first boot would be card install time.

    
    I also noticed that each boot is with this Jun 22nd date.  So
    whatever is used, should have its date/time advanced.

    
    Would be nice...
