Comment 4 for bug 498439

I have the same problem, running on a KVM vm.
Is there no easy way just to zero negative values ?

Do i understand the problem correctly that by the time the server reboots, the clock has moved forward, and then during the reboot it is reset (moving back in time) and then when the server comes up it logs negative uptime ?
