Hello again, I forgot, I'm upgraded to bios revision A08 last week. Now I'm running the following script to force the bug happen.
while true; do sudo /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh start; sleep 2; sudo /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh stop; sleep 2; done ...And guess, I got it, because in other term ran the following script: ~$ while true; do sudo hwclock --show; sleep 2; done Password: Fri 01 Sep 2006 12:39:07 AM CST -0.475796 seconds select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out Well, had to kill a lot of instances of hwclock that were running. I didn't know that script lauch a new instance each time. My conclusion is, Ubuntu 6.06.1 with Linunx 2.6.17 is affected too, even using --directisa. Anybody has a solution for this.
