In fact, hwclock does not dive directly into the hardware on Alpha, and
axp-list won't be of much help, I'm afraid; they still use different
(platform-dependent) versions of the old `clock' program and fight with
the 2018 year. The hwclock's hangs most probably indicate a kernel bug.
Roberto, could you please send me your /proc/interrupts, /proc/rtc and
the output of hwclock --debug (all under 2.1.122)? I want to look into
that problem.
