[SOLVED] Kernel 3.0-rc4 & rc3: Issues with Hardware & System Clock

Currently running Linux Kernel version 3.0-rc3 and there are some minor issues at boot up time. Compilation from source code went smoothly.

Uname -a:

Linux Galicja 3.0.0-rc3-ARCHMOD #1 PREEMPT Tue Jun 14 10:31:12 CEST 2011 x86_64 Genuine Intel(R) CPU 575 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Errors during boot up:

:: Adjusting Hardware Clock                                                      [FAIL]
:: Setting System Clock                                                          [BUSY]
Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.
Use the --debug option to see the details of our search for an access method.    [FAIL]

Everything else is working well, so far. Note that the clock, time, and date functions seem to be operating fine.

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel 3.0-rc4 & rc3: Issues with Hardware & System Clock

RE: Kernels "linux-3.0-rc3" & "linux-3.0-rc4"

The solution is, when compiling any of the above kernel versions, while configuring the kernel options in "make menuconfig", make sure the "Real Time Clock" option is enabled by setting it to "Y" as denoted by the "*" below :

Device Drivers  ---> [*] Real Time Clock  --->

uname -a:

Linux Galicja 3.0.0-rc4-KAMEZAWA-ARCHMOD #1 PREEMPT Tue Jun 21 16:13:09 CEST 2011 x86_64 Genuine Intel(R) CPU 575 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
