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?
