testing 18 Oct files.

IIfx:

drivers/rtc/hctosys.c unable to open rtc device (rtc0)

(with 2.2 I get a correct system clock once booted, without ntp, here I 
get a forced fsck)
Afterwards, it remaints at INIT for an incredible amout of time, I 
thought it hanged! Then it continued and after messages about being 
unable to set the system clock, booting commenced.

then I get continous messages about modprobe not being able to find 
modules.dep . It says they are fatal but it continues.

Due to the clock skew a sendmail build restarted (!? absurd when our 
computers try to be too smart...)

Console input is totally screwed (keys don't correspond)

Quadra950:

the kernel starts and goes up to where fsck gets run since the 
clockskew is detected, I'm asked for the root password, but keyboard is 
screwed up like on the IIfx and I can't type in the password or even 
ctrl-d.

Still, could have been worse!
