Yes, it does, so it's a Good One (tm), but I don't understand what's going on then... My dmesg says, related to rtc : ... rtc_cmos 00:03: rtc core: registered rtc_cmos as rtc0 pnp: Device 00:03 does not support disabling. rtc_cmos: probe of 00:03 failed with error -16 ... and then later : ... drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0) ... What does this all mean ? I thought an RTC Cmos was always there on a standard PC motherboard... (that's why I had activated the option in the first time). Regards, Paul
