I believe /etc/modules.d/* may do it. AFAIK it runs very early in the
init sequence

Do not build it as module....

If your system does an autoloading of modules somewhere in time: just
lsmod. Otherwise you have to try to load them all and take that one that
does not complain about missing hardware... ;-)

If understand well, those files (in /etc/modules.d/) contain configuration
options for modules rather a list of modules to load.

The was /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file wich at some update point
magically disappered. I think Gentoo developers suppose some replacement
for this file.

I still have that file on one of my systems. My other system is running
openrc which does not have that file but it does have /etc/conf.d/modules.

'hwclock' contains this fragment:

ebegin "Setting system clock using the hardware clock [${utc}]"
if [ -e /proc/modules -a ! -e /dev/rtc ]; then
modprobe -q rtc || modprobe -q genrtc
fi

But there are no such modules at all :-) I have installed openrc since
april, but have got time-related problem only now.

I was just letting you know where the file moved to for auto-loading
modules. I'm not sure why hwclock isn't loading the module. You could
try changing the modprobe -q to modprobe -v. To make the output verbose.

If you need rtc_cmos every time you boot, why not build it into the
kernel. That way you can be sure it will be available to anything that
needs it.

At first, I frustrated with situation when I can not manage such things :-)
Then, I don't understand the reason of the problem. And yet don't know is
rtc_cmos the most appropriate choice.

In accordance with http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=232343 - will
anybody be so kind to attach (or send using direct emailing)
~amd64/x86_64/gentoo-sources-2.6.26 .config file with the CONFIG_GEN_RTC
set? I have not found this flag in menuconfig - probably there are some
dependencies I can not recognize.
