Hi Gang and Happy New Year! For several kernel builds now (I don't remember exactly when this first appeared), I'm getting the following error at boot time:
Setting the system clock. Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. Use the --debug option to see the details of our search for an access method. Unable to set system Clock to: Mon Jan 5 13:40:36 CET 2008 (warning). hwclock --debug gives the following output: hwclock from util-linux-ng 2.13.1.1 hwclock: Open of /dev/efirtc failed, errno=2: No such file or directory. No usable clock interface found. Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. Is this a known issue on Debian ia64? I can't find a bug report. I've tried to insert the efirtc module, but it doesn't seem to exist on current linux-image-2.6-mckinley build. The only rtc-related drivers that I can find on my system are: eme...@longspeak:~$ ls /lib/modules/2.6.26-1-mckinley/kernel/drivers/rtc/ rtc-ds1307.ko rtc-ds1742.ko rtc-m48t86.ko rtc-r9701.ko rtc-v3020.ko rtc-ds1374.ko rtc-fm3130.ko rtc-max6900.ko rtc-rs5c348.ko rtc-x1205.ko rtc-ds1511.ko rtc-isl1208.ko rtc-max6902.ko rtc-rs5c372.ko rtc-ds1553.ko rtc-m41t80.ko rtc-pcf8563.ko rtc-s35390a.ko rtc-ds1672.ko rtc-m48t59.ko rtc-pcf8583.ko rtc-stk17ta8.ko Should I insert one of those to fix this issue? I've experienced a clock-related issue in the past with Fedora ia64 ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=182597 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=182598 for details), but it was due to SELinux IIRC. I don't run SELinux on my Debian installation. Any input? Thanks. Émeric
