Re: Clock problems
Since i don't use the package udev for my 2.6 kernel, all works great on my debian amd64 system the rtc modules load great, the time see by hwclock is the same that in the bios. That's not only that udev cause don't work great the system : - my swap can't be umounted correctly on the shutdown. - ...

It just will keep your clock from drifting too far off the time, if you don't need the additional accuracy of ntp. cmr -- Debian 'Sarge': Registered Linux User #241964 More laws, less justice. -- Marcus Tullius Ciceroca, 42 BC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Clock problems
I had a similar problem, hwclock failing with the stated message. Adding rtc to /etc/modules solved it for me. I do not believe it is necessary to manually add the device to /dev (at least it wasn't for me). You can check this by running modprobe rtc manually, and then trying hwclock again.

I do not believe it is necessary to manually add the device to /dev (at least it wasn't for me). Not if you're using udev, devfs or anything deprecated or not that creates the devices for you. I guess that even if you don't use those, the file should be there unless you removed it. In this case the file doesn't exist, so a missing module is very likely to be the culprit. You can check this by running modprobe rtc manually, and then trying hwclock again. That will probably work. -- Javier Kohen [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: blashyrkh #2361802 Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Worked for me, once hwclock was working I was able to fix my time using date and hwclock and it remained after a reboot. apt-get install ntp ntpdate also fixed the problem, but I would rather not have the extra service if its not needed. -Thanks for all the help, John
