#2266: Set system time before bootscripts run -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.0 Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment (by Bryan Kadzban):
Confirmed -- current util-linux-ng (2.14.1) still does not work if /dev/rtc and /dev/rtc0 are both missing (it does fall back to rtc0 now). Looking at the source, hwclock decides at compile time which clock methods are valid; it only enables direct ISA access for x86-32 (!__i386!__) and Alpha (!__alpha!__). It may be possible to add !__x86_64!__ to this list (but as above, that leaves PPC in the dark). See the end of hwclock/cmos.c in util-linux-ng, function probe_for_cmos_clock. The "cmos clock" in that code is the --directisa method (see hwclock.c). (And I suspect none of this is good for 6.4. But I think the solution to #2189 is fine for that.) -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2266#comment:2> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
