Nice one! > Is this last line a problem? Actually, I take all of what I just said back. Things should have been fine before, if drivers/char/rtc.c doesn't see the device, drivers/sbus/char/rtc.c will register itself so you will have a fully functioning /dev/rtc device. That "cannot find PC rtc device" message can be safely ignored. You should not use the patch I posted, because drivers/char/rtc.c does not program Mostek chips correctly, it may even scramble your eeprom. chrony probably only knows about the drivers/char/rtc.c ioctl calls, not the ones provided by Sparc's drivers/sbus/char/rtc.c driver (RTC_SET and RTC_GET). You can look in the util-linux sources to see how these two sets of ioctls() are probed for, /sbin/hwclock knows how to do it for example. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
