Hello, I had a custom 7410 board without RTC. Therefore, I commented out time_init() in start_kernel(). Is this acceptable for linux ?
>From the startup log of linux, it hang in calibrate_delay() which I think it is related to RTC. Any recommendation how I should do to avoid RTC. I really don't care about time of day stuff except the system tick.
