Indeed this old hwclock from util-linux-2.12r didn't have this option. However you can instead make /dev/rtc a symlink to rtc0, temporarily just for the check. BTW this old hwclock sets the clock always wrongly: If you want to get some accuracy from your RTC, upgrade. > Can a possible reason for this problem be that newer chip sets now > have a High Precision Event Timer (HPET) instead of a PIT and RTC Possible and most probable. A working /dev/rtc0 would confirm that it's your case. More precisely this bug is that the traditional /dev/rtc kernel driver can initialise HPET in a wrong mode.
