No hardware clock on UTC either.  One last thing to check.  What is
the output from 'ls -l /dev/rtc; lsmod|grep rtc'?

I suspect your machine boot so fast that the system clock is not yet
set from the hardware clock (which is done using a udev hook in
util-linux when udev is enabled) when the checkroot.sh script is
running.  You can test this hypotesis by disabling the hwclock udev
rule and comment out the test for /dev/.udev in hwclockfirst.sh.  If
this is the case, the problem probably need to be fixed in util-linux,
perhaps by changing the hwclockfirst script to wait for the hwclock to
be set before allowing checkroot.sh to run.

It definitely help to narrow down the problem. :)

Happy hacking,
