Description Michael Shigorin 2008-06-27 16:47:36 MSD

hwclock would complain at startup regarding /dev/rtc when running with recent kernels -- e.g. for 2.24-alt2 / 2.6.26-wks-smp-alt0.7:

hwclock: ioctl() to /dev/rtc to turn on update interrupts failed unexpectedly, errno = Inappropriate ioctl for device (25).

Both error message and lakostis@ recommend --fast option.  Maybe it's time for that by default?

Comment 1 Andrey Rahmatullin 2008-07-19 23:30:21 MSD

Even with FAST=true hwclock --adjust complains, because it isn't executed with $CLOCKFLAGS

Comment 2 Dmitry V. Levin 2008-08-30 02:48:34 MSD

Try with fresh hwclock/startup versions.
