rtc definitely don't work on etch on intel chipset motherboards. I have tried 
at least ten different motherboards and notebooks that use different intel 
chipsets, and they all have /dev/rtc not working with stock debian kernels 
(from the 2.6.18 etch kernel to the newer 2.6.24 kernel).

rtc-cmos seems to fix the issue, but there are two problems:
- rtc is loaded instead of rtc-cmos
- there is no symlink /dev/rtc that points to /dev/rtc0 Many applications 
broke due to this naming change. A symlink fixes the problem. Vmware is one 
of these applications.

What is the rule to get the link created automatically? Searching on the net 
I've found this:
KERNEL=="rtc0",                 SYMLINK+="rtc"

in which udev rule file I should place this line?

Thanks,
Emilio
