Bug#481130: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686: hwclock fails to carry out select() calls on /dev/rtc after update from 2.6.22 to 2.6.24
Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686
Version: 2.6.24-6
Severity: important
the system clock is no more set correctly at boot time after
I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.22 to 2.6.24. This might be due to the
hwclock commands which becomes unable to perform I/O operations on
/dev/rtc
# hwclock
select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out
the time lag between right and wrong times suggests that the
timezone is not being taken into account (the hardware clock
follows the local time, being the machine a dual Debian/Windows
Asus V6800V machine)
rebooting the machine with a 2.6.22 kernel restores the correct
behavior
regards
