Wait! There is a sequence!

So hwclock from util-linux-ng 2.16 needs /dev/rtc0 to function. If that is not around because in the kernel Device Drivers -> Real Time Clock is *not* set then the clock will not be set/saved with disastrous results.

But even so, if you are running chrony, there is still problems with saving the clock: at the moment the clock is saved chrony is still running and has /dev/rtc0 allocated so hwclock fails!

Solution: in /etc/rc0.d + rc6.d chrony is K83 and hwclock K25 so reset chrony to K24 instead.

I believe this to be a bug, Isn't it?

Funny that nobody runs into it.
