Solaris 10 works just fine (10U5 patched up to date with patches as of
today), yet OpenSolaris snv_95 suffers from the

Dec 28 00:00:00 testsrv genunix: [ID 125632 kern.warning] WARNING:
Time-of-day chip unresponsive; dead batteries?

I have tried deleting the nvram as suggested by someone
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10321947 - however that is
to no avail. When I reboot after doing that the clock reverts to 1970
rather than 1986 (which is what it does when I get that WARNING).

Is there any way of actually fixing this issue? Configuring the ntp
service is not very useful as a solution as it skews the uptime:

 10:53pm  up 7912 day(s)

Although that's a pretty cool record, I guess :)

Any ideas on this? Any obscure config options I can pass into grub to
make this go away? Any reason it's new to OpenSolaris over Solaris?

Cheers,

Lee.
