Comments/Problems:
The Dell optiplex GX280 are the new professional desktop from Dell for
the year to come. Those boxen are USB only (no more ps2 ports) and the
HD are sata drives with an IDE compatibility mode in BIOS.
This installation was with the BIOS in native SATA mode and the linux26
flavour + USB keyboard.
The installation went OK until the first reboot where I get stuck in
rcS.d/S18hwclockfirst.sh. At this point I didn't have any keyboard
(module loaded later) either. Pretty messy.
It seems hwclock needs the rtc module to be loaded to do whatever it is
expected to do.
