Bug#300083: kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc: problemes with the clock on a mac mini

[Nils Bruenggel <elitepenguin@gmx.net>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc
Version: 2.6.8-11
Severity: important


I have noticed that the clock in the evening differs about 15 min
from the actual time. My mac mini runs 24/7 with ntpdate running daily
to sync the clock.

I also noticed that hwclock does not work at all for example:

    [ linapple ~ # ntpdate time.ethz.ch
    17 Mar 16:11:00 ntpdate[21647]: step time server 129.132.97.15 offset
    -25169.568464 sec
    [ linapple ~ # date
    Thu Mar 17 16:11:02 CET 2005
    [ linapple ~ # hwclock --show
    time in rtc is Thu Mar 17 23:10:37 2005
    [ linapple ~ # date
    Thu Mar 17 23:10:41 CET 2005


[ linapple ~ # hwclock --show sets the clock to the hwclcok, just
hwclcok does the same. I also cannot set the hwclock (--systohc).
