That didn't fix it either. Thanks anyway for the suggestion.
I am sorry to hear that it did not work. Just to make sure that we do not have a misunderstanding here: Do you still get the "select() to /dev/rtc..." error if you run the hwclock command with the "--directisa" option? (hwclock should bypass /dev/rtc when called like that, therefore I am a pit puzzled.) You might have to try some of the other options described in "man hwclock". If you find a way to make the hwclock command work then you can put those options in /etc/default/rcS. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
