message: Cannot access the hardware clock (ppc)

hi,
   I reinstall arch-ppc from scratch in another partition, all go OK,
when rebooting I view this message:

...Cannot access the hardware clock ...

I found this bug-report about this

http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9636

and then I try to apply patch:  http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9636?getfile=1945

but I have:

patch -Np1 -i /home/sacarde/0001-rtc0.patch
patching file rc.sysinit
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Skipping patch.
2 out of 2 hunks ignored -- saving rejects to file rc.sysinit.rej

what means.....
can I resolv this problem ( if it is a problem) !

thankyou

p.s.
in my old archlinuxppc in old partition go very well, without that message

Umm, same here.

Did notice this a couple of weeks ago, but was too busy to dig into this until now (ya know, master's thesis due...).
Anyways, i didn't apply the patch as the stuff already is in my rc.sysinit.

Talking about a G3 Powerbook Pismo here...

Greetings,
Florian

and I add rtc_ppc to my modules array in rc.conf

..... and
