What special privileges does the Real Time Clock enjoy? For the
longest time after I had compiled a 2.2.17 kernel, this error would
appear in the log-files. I'd comment out the line in modules.conf and
the errors would cease. I'd re-rerun update-modules (for whatever
independent reason) and the line would re-appear un-commented in
modules.conf and the error-messages would resume. It took me a while
to figure out that it was re-appearing in modules.conf because there
was a corresponding entry in /etc/modutils/arch/i386. I deleted the
line from that file and the error messages ceased.
What I'm curious about, though, is how the line ever came to be in the
i386 file within /etc/modutils/arch. I always say no (not M) to that
option when configuring the kernel,
Jim
