Hello.

Since this morning, I can't boot my cooker machine anymore.  It hangs in
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit when doing "/sbin/hwclock $CLOCKFLAGS"
($CLOCKFLAGS="--hctosys --utc" for me) for the non alpha branch.

When I boot without devfs and init=/bin/sh, I can run the command just
fine.  However, when I disable the hwclock call in rc.sysinit and boot
normally (ie. with devfs), running the command also does not finish.

strace /sbin/hwclock --hctosys --utc shows:

brk(0x8053000)                          = 0x8053000
getuid32()                              = 0
open("/dev/rtc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE)  = 3
close(3)                                = 0
open("/dev/rtc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE)  = 3
ioctl(3, RTC_UIE_ON, 0)                 = 0
read(3,  <unfinished ...>

[root@teich root]# ll /dev/rtc
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root            8 Apr 22 08:48 /dev/rtc -> misc/rtc
[root@teich root]# ll /dev/misc/rtc
crw-r-----    1 root     root      10, 135 Jan  1  1970 /dev/misc/rtc

Well, anyone got an idea about why the system hangs?
