recompile your kernel and include RTC support ?

hwclock 2.4c/util-linux-2.11n
Using /dev/rtc interface to clock.
Last drift adjustment done at 1054834353 seconds after 1969
Last calibration done at 1054834353 seconds after 1969
Hardware clock is on local time
Assuming hardware clock is kept in local time.
Waiting for clock tick...
/dev/rtc does not have interrupt functions. Waiting in loop for time from
/dev/rtc to change
...got clock tick
Time read from Hardware Clock: 2003/06/06 12:18:52
Hw clock time : 2003/06/06 12:18:52 = 1054927132 seconds since 1969
Time elapsed since reference time has been 0.535764 seconds.
Delaying further to reach the next full second.
Setting Hardware Clock to 12:18:54 = 1054927134 seconds since 1969
ioctl(RTCSET) was successful.
Clock drifted 1 seconds in the past 92779 seconds in spite of a drift
factor of 40.773487 seconds/day.
Adjusting drift factor by 0.931245 seconds/day

(machine is an Ultra 1 Creator3D)
maybe the debian folks left out RTC support for a good reason I always
compile my own kernels out of habbit.
