What special privileges does the Real Time Clock enjoy? For the longest time after I had compiled a 2.2.17 kernel, this error would appear in the log-files. I'd comment out the line in modules.conf and the errors would cease. I'd re-rerun update-modules (for whatever independent reason) and the line would re-appear un-commented in modules.conf and the error-messages would resume. It took me a while to figure out that it was re-appearing in modules.conf because there was a corresponding entry in /etc/modutils/arch/i386. I deleted the line from that file and the error messages ceased. What I'm curious about, though, is how the line ever came to be in the i386 file within /etc/modutils/arch. I always say no (not M) to that option when configuring the kernel, Jim
