Hello! I am having problems booting HardHat Linux kernel on Sandpoint.
After uncompress_kernel() writes the message Now booting the kernel and the booter jumps the the kernel, there is a delay of at least 40 (forty) minutes before the kernel displays the messages (see the log at the end of this message). Then it hangs forever having displayed a warning about the real-time clock. I tried both the "standard" HardHat kernel and custom-built ones. Results are the same. I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to approach this problem.
