Hi Frans, As I said this is not causing me a problem, so I'm not really after an answer. I just thought that as I had a system where the current stable release of Debian won't boot on, that I had a good example of a serious stability issue - if anyone wanted to investigate it. Probably you are right and this is fixed in a later kernel, there are certainly lots of references to rtc in the kernel changelogs, however me upgrading my kernel does not help someone else installing Debian 4.0 on a system like mine. How do you suggest we improve Debian 4.0 so it boots ok on systems like mine? My thoughts were: Describe this problem in the Errata ; or Blacklist the rtc module in the udev package ; or Fix / remove the rtc module in the linux-image-2.6.18-4-486 package What do you think would be best?
