Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-powerpc64 Version: 2.6.18-7 Severity: normal I've just moved an Apple G5 Xserve from Sarge to Etch, and then tried to set the hardware clock.
# hwclock Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. Use the --debug option to see the details of our search for an access method. # hwclock --debug hwclock from util-linux-2.12r hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed, errno=2: No such file or directory. No usable clock interface found. Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. I even tried for i in /lib/modules/2.6.18-3-powerpc64/kernel/drivers/rtc/* ; do modprobe `basename $i .ko` ; done to no avail. At boot time there is a mention of: Processor timebase sync using Pulsar i2c clock Same hardware, linux-image-2.6.12-1-powerpc64 (Version: 2.6.12-10): # hwclock --debug hwclock from util-linux-2.12p Using /dev/rtc interface to clock. Last drift adjustment done at 1166638203 seconds after 1969 Last calibration done at 1166638203 seconds after 1969 Hardware clock is on UTC time Assuming hardware clock is kept in UTC time. Waiting for clock tick... /dev/rtc does not have interrupt functions. Waiting in loop for time from /dev/rtc to change ...got clock tick Time read from Hardware Clock: 2006/12/21 16:17:24 Hw clock time : 2006/12/21 16:17:24 = 1166717844 seconds since 1969 Thu 21 Dec 2006 11:17:24 AM EST -0.781007 seconds Perhaps there is a kernel configuration option missing that creates /dev/rtc? Or maybe this bug needs to be reassigned against udev.
