I have a system (Debian 3.0_r1 on an Ultra1) that right now boots with a hardware clock set two hours into the future. I have tried using hwclock to solve this, but it seems I cannot use hwclock to do this, and I do not know of any other way. I would like to solve this, since it gives me some problems with certain compilations that give me error messages about clock skew, because some system files (I don't know exactly which) are timestamped two hours into the future before I run ntpdate after the boot.
Here are the symptoms I see: sol:~# hwclock --systohc Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. Use the --debug option to see the details of our search for an access method. sol:~# hwclock --debug hwclock 2.4c/util-linux-2.11n hwclock: Open of /dev/misc/rtc failed, errno=2: No such file or directory. No usable clock interface found. Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. sol:~# When I try to find the /dev/misc/rtc file I see that I don't even have the /dev/misc directory: sol:~# ls -ld /dev/misc ls: /dev/misc: No such file or directory Does anyone here know a solution for this problem? Best regards, David List
