Bug#535354: consider this bug again
reportbug is complicated and I can't get this bug number
below is the output when I try to sync system time to hardware clock.
Current I write a time setting command in rc.local which make some
application work and then re-adjust after boot, but it is really
inconvinient.
debian:~# hwclock -w -D
hwclock from util-linux-ng 2.16
Using /dev interface to clock.
Last drift adjustment done at 1251968915 seconds after 1969
Last calibration done at 1251968915 seconds after 1969
Hardware clock is on UTC time
Assuming hardware clock is kept in UTC time.
Waiting for clock tick...
/dev/rtc0 does not have interrupt functions. Waiting in loop for time
from /dev/rtc0 to change
RTC_RD_TIME: 无效的参数
ioctl() to /dev/rtc0 to read the time failed.
...synchronization failed
I have read the above solution and recompile kernel 2.6.31 with almost
the same config file from 2.6.30
except drop a little module for success compilation. ofz I had the
option compiled.
debian:~# uname -a
Linux debian 2.6.31-rc9 #1 Thu Sep 10 02:03:36 CST 2009 ppc GNU/Linux
# grep RTC .config|grep -i gener
CONFIG_RTC_DRV_GENERIC=y
