Re: enhanced RTC and SMP on PowerMac

quoted

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.

Don't use the RTC option.  That's only for x86.  Also, SMP appears to be broken on 2.2.14.
