Most likely it can't be opened because that device was not compiled into his kernel, but it was into yours. > The strange thing is that /dev/rtc does in fact exist on my brother's > computer (and on mine). Whether or not the device exists in the kernel has nothing to do with whether or not the device file exists on disk. For example, if I compiled a kernel without sound support, the file /dev/audio might still exist, but if I tried to open it, the open would fail. As to why having rtc in the kernel would cause clock to fail, I have no clue. -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
