This is *not* the kernel you used when you filed #542443. > CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC=y > CONFIG_RTC_LIB=y > CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=y > CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS=y > CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE="rtc0" > CONFIG_RTC_INTF_SYSFS=y > CONFIG_RTC_INTF_PROC=y > CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV=y > [...] > CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS=y Looks good, I don't think you need the other modules. > and that system with the new hwclock command claimed it could not read > the system clock! a) Do you use udev? b) Can you access /dev/rtc0, e.g. with "hwclock -f /dev/rtc0"?
