1 Hi All,
2
3 Not sure if I need RTC built in my kernel. This is the error I get when I
4 boot up:
5 =======================================================
6 # dmesg | grep -i RTC
7 Using IPI Shortcut mode
8 drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0)
9 =======================================================
10
11 This is what I have in the kernel:
12 =======================================================
13 # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep RTC
14 CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC=y
15 CONFIG_RTC=y
16 CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=m
17 CONFIG_SND_SEQ_RTCTIMER_DEFAULT=y
18 CONFIG_RTC_LIB=y
19 CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=y
20 CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS=y
21 CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE="rtc0"
22 # RTC interfaces
23 CONFIG_RTC_INTF_SYSFS=y
24 CONFIG_RTC_INTF_PROC=y
25 CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV=y
26 # RTC drivers
27 # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_X1205 is not set
28 # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1672 is not set
29 # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_PCF8563 is not set
30 # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_RS5C372 is not set
31 # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_M48T86 is not set
32 # CONFIG_RTC_DRV_TEST is not set
33 =======================================================
34
35 How should I change it? What's the point (from a laptop user's point of
36 view)?
