That should already have been applied to your unit, and the C1 units have a switch added to the power line of the RTC, according to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO1.75_B1_C1_Changes#Fix_RTC_Power ... so even if the ECO wasn't applied on your unit, there's a chance it won't fix the problem. You might try some forth code to work around the problem, setting the RTC to something reasonable during boot. http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/11425 has some details of how this can be done. Doing it in the /boot/olpc.fth file before starting Linux might be one method. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Testing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing
