You didn't mention the version of hwclock/util-linux you were using, but older (slink-era) versions will fail on some CMOS because of where the century byte is stored. I know I used to get exactly this error when I first tried to get hwclock to work on a PS/2, for example. -Kevin -- Kevin A. Foss ---- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
