I got my machine running again by using Kyle McMartin's instructions to boot into a shell and I removed the hwclock scripts. I also replaced the battery, as it was completely empty. But these are both tempory hacks because everytime I access the rtc, e.g. give a date command like date -s "04/30/04 21:00" the systems locks up. So I think it's a problem in the kernel part for accessing the rtc. To avoid lock ups I removed /dev/rtc so the worst thing happening is an error message. Thank you so far.
