Re: Bug#280147: installation-reports: half success (Dell Optiplex GX280 + kernel-2.6.8 + SATA)
This exact problem is occuring when I install debian to my Dell
PowerEdge SC420 which like that Optiplex GX280 is a new product from
dell, only released about a month ago. Lucky for me the PowerEdge SC420
has a old fashion PS/2 keyboard so I could bypass the hwclock at boot by
means of the ctrl+c.
After the install I investigated and found that running 'hwclock --show'
for example would make that command stop, which means that it is unable
to even read from the hardware clock through the rtc module. However
when running 'hwclock --show --directisa' hwclock functinos properly.
So the conclusion is thus that the rtc module doesn't support whatever
dell has done on their new motherboards, right?
