Package: util-linux Version: 2.12-10 Severity: important
On a Dell Precision Workstation 670, the /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh script hangs during both power up and power down due to hwclock hanging on this machine. Adding --directisa to the hwclock commandline solves this problem, but I think there should be some timeout involved as well so that in case hwclock doesn't return the machine will still come up. During powerup I can abort hwclock with a ctrl-c, but that doesn't work durig power down... At least all calls to hwclock in these two files have to be changed to have --directisa added to work around this problem. /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh /etc/init.d/hwclockfirst.sh I'm reporting this from a different machine, so the info below is not 100% correct. The machine having the problem was a fresh install of sarge using the rc2 d-i netboot disk. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages util-linux depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii slang1a-utf8 1.4.9dbs-8 The S-Lang programming library wit ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
