Hi,
I'm just having a problem when installing Gentoo on a clean 3-year old Shuttle XPC machine. Apparently the kernel doesn't properly detect the RTC-CMOS device (which I guess is there...), thus causing the hwclock script to display en error while bootting / shutting down (as /dev/rtc0 device is not created):

This is what I get when manually trying 'modprobe rtc-cmos':
Code:

FATAL: Error inserting rtc_cmos (/lib/modules/2.6.32-gentoo/kernel/drivers/rtc/rtc-cmos.ko): No such device


Also dmesg I can see the following entries:
Code:

[    7.753061] Driver 'rtc_cmos' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
[    7.753085] rtc_cmos 00:05: RTC can wake from S4


They appear also earlier in dmesg, probably when kernel also attempts to load the module by itself.

Any guesses? I've tried recompiling the kernel in a lot of different ways, including compiling all posible rtc-xxx modules, compling rtc-cmos into the kernel instead of as a module, etc... None of the other rtc modules seem to work, and building rtc-cmos inside doesn't change anything.

In case it matters, this is a Gentoo ~amd64 setup, using gentoo-sources-2.6.32. I've also tried 2.6.31-r6 (lastest stable for amd64), but same results.

Regards
