nforce4 hardware: disappeared rtc device
Hi,
I'm setting up Sarge (the stable amd64 release) on a new system vith an
Asus A8N SLI Deluxe Motherboard. I'm not using SLI, just one XFX geforce
6600 GT PCIE grapics card. I'm using the 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 kernel and
the nvidia graphcs driver, installed from the Debian packages. The
graphics seems to work with X-windows but is not much tested yet.
The problem is that the system time was not correctly set up at boot and
there is no /dev/rtc device file. hwclock --hctosys complains about that
and refuses to set the system clock.
If I manually create the device file (mknod rtc c 10 135), then hwclock
--hctosys works and sets the time correctly. Now, if I reboot the
system, the problem is back and the /dev/rtc I created has disappeared!
Any ideas?
