"Cannot access hardware clock by any known method"

[Jim Hayward]

Hi All,

Is anyone else seeing this message om startup and shutdown..

"Cannot access hardware clock by any known method"

I don't recall ever seeing it with F7. I'm currently running kernel
2.6.23-0.204.rc8.fc8 x86_64. The message says something about using the
--debug option. Anyone know where this is supposed to be used?

Regards,
    Jim H

Try kernel 208.

This is from 'hwclock'.  As root you can run 'hwclock --debug'.
Unfortunately you will be not much wiser after that. Try different
kernel.
