The kernel doesn't timestamp, the logging daemon syslogd/klogd does. Now if the daemon is running UTC because your distribution starts it before setting the timezones up that might cause wrong zones - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
