setting the hardwareclock (no replies)

hi there,

i'm a big fan of this forum and got a few devices allready running successfully bodhi's great debian stuff - thank you for all your work :-)

my latest project is a broken (hdd - crashed) lacie networkspace 2 lite devices. i flashed the mainline u-boot (from lacie-side) and got
it running with a new drive and bodhi's latest rootfs and kernel 4.4.0

my only problem is, that the hardwareclock is on 2018 .. when i try to set it up automatically with:

ntpdate de.pool.ntp.org

i got the error: Can't adjust the time of day: Invalid argument

tried to set it up manualy worked: date -s 2016-02-12
