So, for the users who have our problems with /dev/rtc this is what fixes the problem: - edit "/etc/modprobe.d/pnp-hotplug" and change the line "alias pnp:dPNP0b00 rtc" to "alias pnp:dPNP0b00 rtc-cmos" - create a new file "/etc/udev/rules.d/local.rules" and place the following line: KERNEL=="rtc0", SYMLINK+="rtc"

I put it in a new file I called "local.rules" and it worked. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
