kernel26ck no hardware clock [SOLVED]

i installed new kernel26

pacman -Qs kernel26ck
local/kernel26ck 2.6.20.7.ck1-2

rebooted for new kernel & udev
got error

Cannot access the Hardware Clock  via any known method.
Use the --debug option to see the details for our search for an access method

it finished booting browsed the forums & news didnt see anything so i googled a bit
said rtc module was needed so i built it in kernel26.img
reboot no error

i dont know if its intended or not since modulating is the way we seem to be heading but i thought id share this info as i didnt see it else where round here

Re: kernel26ck no hardware clock [SOLVED]

for (stock) kernel 2.6.21 i've also built it into the kernel to avoid these messages.

Nice, I was just wondering where this message came from.

Hi, I hope someone is monitoring this old topic, because I think the issue may have reappeared.

I'm not sure when it started happening but I'm getting the "Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method" message during boot.  I keep my system pretty up to date and have testing enabled so I should be on the latest kernel.

Re: kernel26ck no hardware clock [SOLVED]

Yup i get it too, on my athlon fx-55 box and my macbook pro. Both running arch 64. Time is fine in my desktop, but time is messed up on my macbook's arch64 install if i reboot into osx and then into linux.

Re: kernel26ck no hardware clock [SOLVED]

I have that problem too, some other guys are reporting the same thing here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=45317 (Me too sorry about the double post...)

I'm also using 64bit.

Re: kernel26ck no hardware clock [SOLVED]

This one went away after one of the system updates, so I thought it had been fixed.  I am also on x86_64.  Have you tried doing a full system upgrade?

Re: kernel26ck no hardware clock [SOLVED]

I have an alternate startup command line that includes:
noapic nolapic acpi=off.

The message appears then.

If I remove those options then all is fine.

Re: kernel26ck no hardware clock [SOLVED]

I'm seeing this with a custom kernel (2.6.25 final+tuxonice+colorprintk) with acpi enabled.
