I have had this for a while and do not use an initrd. I can rmmod genrtc and modprobe rtc afterwards. However, certain thing have already loaded which depend upon the rtc.ko and produce errors with genrtc.ko loaded.
I had a blacklist entry which had been successful in surpressing genrtc. I would get an "error message" on bootup "Not load blacklisted module genrtc" and then rtc would load correctly. However, this workaround's file has been lost and I do not remember where I had it. It was relating hotplug watchdogs though it is more relevant to alsa. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
