Re: 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);

I have the same problem.  I dont think it should work.  (CMOS on a ppc?)

I have noticed that the 'clock' program seems to access the rtc.  Assuming it
is, it may have the code we want to put in the kernel.
