Hi Adrian, > Awesome. Welcome to the club! I actually wrote these instructions :). thanks, and I know ;-) I've been running an way older linux previously.

Using the precompiled kernel and amiboot (6.0snapshot May 11 2005): "amiboot -k vmlinux-3.2.0-4-amiga root=/dev/hdb4 video=amifb:pal-lace" > Are you using the apne driver?

If it helps I can lend out the card. > However, when you compiled the kernel yourself you might have just > forgotten to add the driver for the OKI-RTC? I think it's called > M6242, the driver is rtc-msm6242. You're right, I've forgotten that driver - now the kernel detects it but still does not work. While the Amiga OS is able to read/set the clock linux can't read it. Reading it manually by "hwclock" returns "hwclock: ioctl(RTC_RD_TIME) to /dev/rtc0 to read the time failed: Invalid argument". I've set the date to "2014-05-10 21:45" (yes, wrong month, to distinguish from the time set on AmigaOS) using "date". On shutdown the time is stored. On reboot the time is read as "2014-05-10 01:46:04" - there must be bug in it. The AmigaOS reads it correctly. But when storing it from the AmigaOS, linux is once again not able to read it. Can't just amiboot read the time from the amigaos and pass it onto linux? > I assume you have either a Blizzard 68030 card or one of those > ACA-123x accelerators by individual computers? It's a Blizzard 1230 mk IV with FPU @ 50MHz (as stated top of my initial post ;-) ALeX.
