You need to insmod the rtc module if you are using the stock kernel 2.4.17 image. Better still, do recompile your kernel; after enabling the RTC module. ---<from the Kernel config help>--- If you run Linux on a multiprocessor machine and said Y to "Symmetric Multi Processing" above, you should say Y here to read and set the RTC in an SMP compatible fashion. ---<end>--- HTH. -- /(__ __|\ ragOO, VU2RGU<->http://gnuhead.dyndns.org/<->GPG: 1024D/F1624A6E ( \/ __)_ Helping to keep the Air-Waves FREE Amateur Radio ) (_____ / Helping to keep your Software FREE the GNU Project /___________/ Helping to keep the W W W FREE Debian GNU/${kernel} -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
