Hi! I noticed something interesting: I have a Shuttle barebone that is 3 years old. Chip set is: VIA K8M800.
I have another Shuttle barebone that is brand-new. Chip set is: NVIDIA nForce 630a The funny thing is: Both computers are running with Debian Etch. I installed Debian Etch R0 as identically on both computers as I could. But: On an chip set "VIA K8M800" the command "hwclock --show" works fine. On a chip set "NVIDIA nForce 630a" the commans "hwclock --show" produces the output "select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out". (I also tested Lenny and Sid, and the system clock also with those operating systems does not run correctly.) I think, this bit of information is very useful for that programmer who is to fix the bug: I think, it is a simple incompatibility to some kind of hardware. How I make a workaround that works for me is another issue wich I still have to solve, but in the long term, I think, it is important that someone fixes the bug, because, it *IS* a bug.
