I find this intriguing: gecko:~# hwclock --show Mon May 6 08:46:27 2002 -0.994167 seconds gecko:~# hwclock --systohc gecko:~# hwclock --show Mon May 6 08:46:33 2002 -0.999854 seconds So the hardwareclock is never set. Which setting in "Character Devices" do I need so hwclock can access the on-board real-time-clock? < > /dev/nvram support < > Enhanced Real Time Clock Support -- Ralf Hildebrandt (Im Auftrag des Referat V A) Ralf.Hildebrandt@charite.de Charite Campus Virchow-Klinikum Tel. +49 (0)30-450 570-155 Referat V A - Kommunikationsnetze - Fax. +49 (0)30-450 570-916 There are two ways to write error-free programs.
