Hi, Sorry for the noise. How do I access the rtc on a PowerMac7,3 (dual 2.5 GHz 970FX) using 2.6.36? rtc-generic does not seem to work. It will work on my 8600. I do see this: [ 15.014542] rtc-generic rtc-generic: rtc core: registered rtc-generic as rtc0 Is it the hwclock binary: hwclock from util-linux-2.13-pre7 I think I could get this to work in 2.6.28 using rtc-ppc. Thanks! kevin

rtc-generic should work... Cheers, Ben.

It probably does on everyone else's 7,3. The 8600 probably infected it. ... I hear the two of them out there late at night. Mumbling to each other ... plotting ... kevin

Not sure, I haven't looked at that RTC stuff for ages. Basically the platform code provides generic RTC hooks (in that G5 it's going to be via the via-pmu) and it should "just work". That code hasn't been touched for eons. Cheers, Ben.

Hi, Thanks for taking some of your valuable time to reply. Now I can't get it to fail. I don't know what I did wrong??? These things are tryin' to push me over the edge! Part of the problem may be the /dev/rtc (10:135 or whatever the PC numbers are) PC device that gets put into /dev/ (udev) on YDL 6.0. Should probably figure out who is adding it and nuke it.
