Bug#493567: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64: /dev/rtc* not created with 2.6.26, rtc_cmos module must be manually loaded



Hi,

i had the same problem, fixed installing new udev version.
The rtc-cmos is automatically loaded regardless of udev version but in the new 
rtc infrastructure the device files are 
named  /dev/rtc0,/dev/rtc1,...,/dev/rtcn.
What the new version of udev do,  starting from version 0.124-1, is to 
automatically create a symlink /dev/rtc -> /dev/rtc0 as explained in 
changelog:

* udev.rules: added a rtc symlink to rtc0.


Regards,
Andrea.
