And this is documented where? Why is CONFIG_RTC even offered if it's buggy? Not only that, but I had both compiled as a module. If the kernel is loading the wrong one, again I maintain it's a bug in the kernel and not with me. > > > IOW I need a replacement for the following part of the postinst: > > you need to change nothing, its PEBCAK. Before you start flaming people, perhaps you ought to check to see where people might find out this information while compiling the kernel. I see no reason that you should automatically assume that users will magically divine that a certain commonly-used kernel option will interfere with hwclock. Suggesting that is ludicrous.
