I also tried adding this at the end of /etc/defaults/rcS:
HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa"
and rebooted. That didn't fix it either. Thanks anyway for the suggestion.

Just to make sure that we do
not have a misunderstanding here: Do you still get the "select() to
/dev/rtc..." error if you run the hwclock command with the "--directisa"
option? (hwclock should bypass /dev/rtc when called like that,
therefore I am a pit puzzled.)
That's correct. After adding this
HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa"
to /etc/default/rcS, rebooting, and running either of these
hwclock --show
hwclock --set --date="23 Apr 2007 13:06:46"
I still get the message
select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out
You might have to try some of the other options described in "man
hwclock". If you find a way to make the hwclock command work then you
can put those options in /etc/default/rcS.
Thanks. I'll look into that when I have time.
Maybe I'm stuck with this. In any case, though, it seems that times are
recorded correctly and only the displayed times are goofy. As I mentioned,
if I make a file on a flash drive and list it on another computer, it shows
the correct time.
