I've downloaded the kernel sources and looked at genrtc.c. Within a 
minute I knew it forsure: I don't understand it. I've written some
simple C programs, but this stuff is a bit too complicated for me. So I
take your word that genrtc has no bugs. Let's blame the firmware ;-)
But after a couple of days I think that replacing the battery and
setting the correct time in the boot-menu is a good solution when an
Apollo locks up after accessing the rtc.

Thanks for your support, let's continue at the next question....

Kind regards,
Roland Leurs
