To workaround this problem, you can accress the hardwareclock with: computer:/var/log# hwclock -r select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out computer:/var/log# hwclock --directisa -r Fr 22 Feb 2008 13:19:13 CET -0.095899 seconds computer:/var/log# hwclock --directisa --systohc computer:/var/log# hwclock --directisa -r Fr 22 Feb 2008 12:19:36 CET -0.298484 seconds
The hwclock manpage says: --directisa ---- snip If it is unable to open the device (for read), it will use the explicit I/O instructions anyway. -----snip What I don`t understand is, why the system scripts don`t work?!
