Greetings, I have seen that. It figures! I do note that it still needs bits 4-6 of index 0x0a set to 010b At minimum, it will do no harm to set that on the Tyan boards. G'day, sjames On 11 Dec 2002, Eric W. Biederman wrote: steven james [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Greetings, if the

Yep, When I went to go add the rtc init I discovered this. I added a call to the existing rtc_init(0) from the via southbridge setup and all was well. It seems like the consenous is to move this call into hardwaremain with some sort of option driven ifdef. True? Kevin On Wednesday 11
