4) Use CONFIG_GEN_RTC and be happy.  What _might_ be happening right now
is that chrp_get_rtc_time is 'funky' and not quite right for anything
other than an IBM OpenFirmeware'd CHRP box.  What I would suggest is
looking at include/asm-generic/rtc.h in 2.6 and moving much of that code
into 'chrp_get_rtc_time' and 'chrp_set_rtc_time'.
Ok, thanks, i will look into it.

But then, remember, this is for the debian powerpc kernel, and has to be
2.4.x still for now.
Yes.  The code in <asm-generic/rtc.h> is taken right from
drivers/char/rtc.c.  It just didn't get sent to 2.4 for some reason.
