Package: linux-source-2.6.12
Version: 2.6.12-1
Severity: minor

linux-image-2.6.12-1-686 includes both the genrtc and rtc modules.
During boot, the genrtc driver is loaded fairly early on. Later, hotplug
tries to also load the rtc module which fails.

I'm not sure which driver is to be preferred, but wouldn't it make sense
to only enable only one and not both in the kernel config?

Either that or hotplug (and possibly discover) should blacklist the rtc
module.

Cheers,
FJP

Version: 0.1.84.2+rm

The initrd-tools package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/393092 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
