Works for me now on Hardy (kernel 2.6.24-19). Appears that Ubuntu
doesn't use any rtc modules now (lsmod | grep rtc shows nothing).
So no need to re-open.

hwclock -r fails on Dell Precision 670 due to rtc driver, use genrtc instead?

You received this bug
I still have this problem on a Dell Optiplex 745 with the latest kernel
(2.6.22):
uname -r
2.6.22-14-386
sudo hwclock -r
select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out
Works with --directisa option as mentioned elsewhere:
sudo hwclock -r --directisa --utc
