Bug#277298: untested workaround



Hello,

In this bugreport there is the hint to modify the hwclock.sh files.
But that is a change at several places. I'm not fond of that.

However the addition of '--directisa' is indeed where it seems to hurt.
(kernel, hwclock and hardware mismatch)


I have this (untested) workaround in mind:

# cd /sbin
# ./hwclock --version
hwclock from util-linux-2.12
# mv hwclock hwclock-2.12
# cat > hwclock << HERE
#!/bin/bash
/sbin/hwclock-2.12 --directisa \$@
HERE
# chmod +x hwclock



it is a wrapper for the hwclock binary which appends "directisa"


That is is untested is because I have currently no access
to this Dell who is affect by this bug.


Cheers
Geert Stappers
