Hi folks,
Here where I work we received a G4 computer and I started to install
a Gentoo 2006.0. The computer is a G4 2 CPU's 512MB of memory 2 HD, I
started to install Gentoo 2006.0 from stage 1 and everything gone well.
I installed with cpu flag as G4 and O2.
But when the computer restarted a problem appeared with hwclock,
when I execute the hwclock an error appear. The error is something like:
"select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out" and the date in
Linux stay 1970, the bios time is correctly because when I boot the
Gento CD the hwclock work perfectly. I already recompiled the kernel
with many options but nothing solve the problem.
I believe that the problem is with some kernel option that I forgot
or some patch, because in the Gentoo CD the hwclock works perfectly.
What kernel option or patch can be solve the problem? Hints?
Best regards.

Make sure that you have enabled the RTC Emulation options in your kernel
