I think it is a bad, bad advice. And its wrong :-) You should tell your system its not running UTC. Set UTC=no in /etc/default/rcS and your system will run with local time, like Windows does. You should never use hwclock. Let your system work for you, don't work against your system :-) other Problem: > kit:~# hwclock --localtime > select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out > > Is there a bug? Any hints on what to do? No, not as far as I know. AFAIK this is the new?? but preferred way to set the hardware clock. On some systems it isn't working, like yours. So you should try to insert the option "--directisa" to the HWCLOCKPARS variable in every /etc/init.d/hwclock*.sh > I have noticed that this error occurs during boot as well. This should go away with --directisa Frank -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
