enhanced RTC and SMP on PowerMac

Is enhanced RTC supposed to work on PowerMac? When I compile with CONFIG_RTC, the kernel doesn't boot up and dies when it hits the following line: /* Initialize periodic freq. to CMOS reset default, which is 1024Hz */ CMOS_WRITE(((CMOS_READ(RTC_FREQ_SELECT) & 0xF0) | 0x06), RTC_FREQ_SELECT); in the function, __initfunc(int rtc_init(void)), in linux/drivers/char/rtc.c. I'm using 2.2.14 on PowerSurge board (UMAX S900). I was looking at the linux/arch/ppc/kernel/pmac_time.c and prep_time.c. And I noticed, that PReP machine uses CMOS_WRITE to access RTC, but PowerMac uses cuda to access RTC instead of CMOS_WRITE. So I'm guessing that enhanced RTC doesn't work on the PowerMacs, right now.
