John, what kernel/machine do you have hwclock causing a hang? I'm not

"proper" /dev/rtc driver. We should be using hwclock. Clock is an
awful ADB-bit-bashing hack that needs to die.
may be we're talking about different problems ('cause of English is
only my very second language ...):
i'm running debian 2.4.8/testing on an upgraded 7500/G3/400 and have

BTW.: first i thought of this boot-hanging could be a result of the
less "human data-dase" by myself and so i did a complet clean
install, but the problem = hanging at boot still remained.
in an attack of vaxation i did a wild hack on every reachable key -
