Hi,

under 2.2.17pre15ben1

rtc does not give me the right answer when built in - what am I doing

wrong?

It won't build load as a module right now 'cos I forgot to check ppc_ksyms
before doing the build :-( .... (I remembered for 2.4.0).

under 2.4.0-test5 it seems to be fine as a module (haven't tried built in).

I am using it as module both for 2.2.17-bk and for 2.4.0-test5. They
don't give the same time, and I think it is the one in 2.4.0 that is
right. I am at GMT+2:00, and the time in 2.2.17 is 2 hours early. When I
change /etc/sysconfig/clock from "UTC=false" to "UTC=true", both times
shift by 2 hours, but the discrepancy remains.

Are you sure you are using the "hwclock" utility coming with util-linux?
And not the old pmac specific "clock" utility to query the clock? What
happens if you remove all "clock" binaries from your system?
