Message-ID: <20080520105844.GA694@frolo.macqel> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii List-Id: Linux on PowerPC Developers Mail List List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Hi everybody, I have a ARCH=powerpc linux-2.6.25-rc6 linux running with an i2c rtc chip, and synchronized to a ntp server. I noticed that my rtc chip does not get updated by the kernel, just like it would be on all other architectures (included ppc). Looking at the differences between ./arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c and ./arch/ppc/kernel/time.c, I see that /* * update the rtc when needed ... code segement has disappeared Is it expected to be done somewhere else (where ?) or is there another good reason for this removal ? Kind regards Philippe
