I'm having the same problem as you. There's a few rtc modules configured in the kernel:
$ grep CONFIG_RTC /boot/config-2.6.27-7-generic CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=y # CONFIG_RTC_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS=y CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1305=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1307=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1374=m # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1511 is not set CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1553=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1672=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1742=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_FM3130=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_ISL1208=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_M41T80=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_M41T80_WDT=y CONFIG_RTC_DRV_M41T94=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_M48T59=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_M48T86=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_MAX6900=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_MAX6902=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_PCF8563=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_PCF8583=m # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_R9701 is not set CONFIG_RTC_DRV_RS5C348=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_RS5C372=m # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_S35390A is not set CONFIG_RTC_DRV_STK17TA8=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_TEST=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_V3020=m CONFIG_RTC_DRV_X1205=m CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS=y CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE="rtc0" CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV=y CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV_UIE_EMUL=y CONFIG_RTC_INTF_PROC=y CONFIG_RTC_INTF_SYSFS=y CONFIG_RTC_LIB=y And there's /dev/rtc0 but not /dev/rtc $ ls -l /dev/rtc* crw-rw---- 1 root root 254, 0 2008-10-21 22:04 /dev/rtc0 -- VMware Workstation 6.5 complains of no /dev/rtc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284602 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
