Error inserting genrtc

2006-01-13 Thread Dan Jacobson
Looking at the hwclock docs, I suppose this is unsightly but harmless?:
# grep rtc /var/log/boot
Sat Jan 14 00:38:28 2006: Setting the system clock:modprobe: WARNING:
 Error inserting genrtc
 (/lib/modules/2.6.14-2-k7/kernel/drivers/char/genrtc.ko): Device or
 resource busy
Sat Jan 14 00:39:21 2006:  rtc: loaded successfully

Odd how hotplug[?] has a more cheery message?

error inserting genrtc

2006-09-23 Thread ciol

Hi,

I have got the following message on boot :

"""
modprobe : WARNING: Error inserting genrtc ( 
/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/char/genrtc.ko ) : Device or 
resource busy

generic RTC driver v1.07
"""

I have searched on the Internet, some people get the same message but I 
did not found any solution or explanation.
Is it a serious problem ? (Everything seems to work fine, and my clock 
too) Should I resolve it and how ?


Maybe you could help me.

Thank you.

If I recall correctly "genrtc" is a driver that emulates RTC on machines 
that have none, and "rtc" is a driver for a real RTC.

Perhaps another real time clock driver has taken control of the clock.

Do a "lsmod | grep rtc" to see if that's the case.

testing:~# lsmod | grep rtc
rtc12088  0


The message (on boot) appears on my testing system, but with sarge, same 
kernel, it does not appear.
