Package: util-linux
Version: 2.12-10
Severity: important
On a Dell Precision Workstation 670, the /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh script hangs
during
both power up and power down due to hwclock hanging on this machine.
Adding --directisa to the hwclock commandline solves this problem, but I think
there
should be some timeout involved as well so that in case hwclock doesn't return
the
machine will still come up. During powerup I can abort hwclock with a ctrl-c,
but
that doesn't work durig power down...
At least all calls to hwclock in these two files have to be changed to have
--directisa added to work around this problem.
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh
/etc/init.d/hwclockfirst.sh
I'm reporting this from a different machine, so the info below is not 100%
correct.
The machine having the problem was a fresh install of sarge using the rc2 d-i
netboot disk.
