Hi Darrick,

thanks for helping!

I am not running any 'release' images, but I always compile my own
version of astlinux. Mainly from my branch, which is these days almost
in sync with the trunc.

Well, meanwhile I identified the source of my problem. It's the 2.6.18
kernel.

To make sure my hardware isn't faulty, I took the CF card from my
properly working -50 board to the -60 board. The clock behaved just
fine. I was happy to see that because fixing software is easier than
hardware ;-)

After that I played with various kernel settings, re-compiled the 2.6.18
kernel many times, but the clock still didn't behave, I decided to
downgrade the kernel to 2.6.16.12 (we used that kernel in a previous
release). And that did the trick! Everything's fine again.

I noticed in the kernel settings, that the 2.6.18 kernel has quite a few
more RTC-related settings compared to the 2.6.16.12. However, I could
not find you yet, what's causing the trouble on the soekris boards.

Does anybody else run a Soekris system with the 2.6.18 kernel? Could you
please run 'date' a few times to see if there is any problem?

I am going to plug-in the 2.6.19 kernel now to see if that makes any
difference!

I'll keep you posted.

cheers, Ingmar
