Bug#475959: /dev/rtc access not working without hpet=force boot parameter, too

[Duns Ens <dunsens@web.de>]

Hi,

I have the problem in both 2.6.22-3-686 and 2.6.24-1-686 (2.6.24-5),
too. I cannot access /dev/rtc without --directisa in hwclock and not on
boot. It seems that this also prevents ntp from setting my clock:

ntpd[4654]: adjusting local clock by -3598.738730s
ntpd[4654]: adjtime failed: Invalid argument

which stops Kerberos from working.

Cheers,
dunsens
