If you have the PPSkit: | $ echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/time/rtc_update Otherwise you have to patch time.c in the kernel. Dead easy, just a matter of commenting out a line or two. I'm so patching all my kernels, reading and writing the RTC exclusively with hwclock 2.31, and am getting a far better accuracy. The main purpose of an RTC is to initialise the system time at powerup, isn't it? Most people startup in the morning at around half a second of the true time, and later ntpd has to step this to UTC. I routinely startup at some low milliseconds of the true time, offset quickly slewed. My last step event was years ago.
