Bug#355672: Boot hangs, but for different reasons
Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp
Version: 2.6.15-7
Hi Guys,
Sorry for the previous bug report, I made a mistake.
I thought that the hanging boot process was due to not recognising my
SATA drive, but it was actually a hwclock related issue.
I upgraded the util-linux package and now I could see the error
message from hwclock which was RTC related (waiting for clock tick
timed out).
I added an extra parameter to hwclock in /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh
(HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa") and now it boots with no problem.
Regards,
Tibor Radvanyi
