There's also a bug open on the kernel with this, with a known fix of changing a config option (CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC). #398449 Using genrtc rather than the rtc module also works for me. I've been thinking that this bug should be RC. It affects installed systems too; not having a working hardware clock is not good. -- see shy jo
