Package: linux-image-2.6.30-1-powerpc Version: 2.6.30-6 Severity: important
When I boot my G4-based laptop, the hw clock can't be accessed and the system time ends up being the epoch for the platform Jan 1st, 1904. Switching back to 2.6.26 fixes the problem. Although CONFIG_RTC_DRV_GENERIC was compiled in in July, it seems the switch from rtc-ppc to rtc-generic doesn't work, at least on my system. Another Debian PPC user reports the same breakage in his G3. 2.6.26 from lenny: [ 7.800992] platform ppc-rtc.0: rtc core: registered ppc_md as rtc0 [ 7.864990] platform ppc-rtc.0: setting system clock to 2009-08-18 18:37:53 UTC (1250620673) Latest 2.6.30 from unstable: [ 6.473202] rtc-generic rtc-generic: rtc core: registered rtc-generic as rtc0 [ 6.533547] rtc-generic rtc-generic: hctosys: unable to read the hardware clock Simon Raven, from #debianppc, has a working kernel which after config inspection seems to differ only in the CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV_UIE_EMUL=y setting, which is not enabled in Debian. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-powerpc Locale: LANG=ca_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ca_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.30-1-powerpc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.93.4 tools for generating an initramfs ii libc6 2.9-24 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii module-init-tools 3.9-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo linux-image-2.6.30-1-powerpc recommends no packages.
