Hello team,
I have a Pi 400 with Rocky Linux 9.0 (Blue Onyx) running aarch64.
System is fully updated, kernel version: 5.15.55-v8.1.el9.altarch
The command who -b always returns system boot 2022-09-22 01:59
Uptime command shows 12:34:32 up 17 min, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.15, 0.23
Even after a reboot, the who -b command keeps showing
system boot 2022-09-22 01:59
I would like to report this problem.
Kind regards,
-gw
On x86_64 the kernel version is usually 5.14, not 5.15?
Gerry,
As I explained in the case, this is an Raspberry Pi 400 (aarch64) platform, not x86_64. So, kernel versioning is different.
The “who -b” command simply does not work OK. I just started my system 3 minutes ago.
$ who -b
system boot 2022-09-22 01:59

Does the “last” command report the reboot times correctly?
$ last reboot
Hi,
Good question, here’s this morning’s output

Looks like there is a problem with the wtmp file?
I took a look on another RockyLinux 9.0 (x86_64) system.

The difference is the ‘offset’. On the Pi (aarch64) it is the same (wrong!), while at the x86_64 system it works OK.
That might be important for the developers.

Who are the developers of the Pi (aarch64 version)?
Interesting about the kernel version difference.
Hi Gerry,
I downloaded the image from https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/sig/9/altarch/aarch64/images/RockyLinuxRpi_9.0.img.xz, so I guess that the Rocky Linux developers put it there 
The README file contains information how to write it onto an SD-card.
Somewhere I read - I forgot where - that it still is not officially supported at this moment.
