Hi Daniel, hi *,
after reading this discussion I have the following questions/remarks:
As far as I understand it clock from powerpc-utils is obsolete and you can
use hwclock on all machines (including PReP machines?). Does that mean you
will remove the clock program from powerpc-utils?

John, what kernel/machine do you have hwclock causing a hang? I'm not
sure off the top of my head what the status is in 2.2, but 2.4 has a
"proper" /dev/rtc driver. We should be using hwclock. Clock is an

It's a) ugly and b) wrong, since it does work on some PPCs.

Has anyone considered patching the kernel config scripts so that it just
won't even ASK about the "Enhanced Real-time Clock",
