Hi Charlie;

What I have is /dev/rtc but *not* /dev/rtc0. Here's the results of 3/4 of your suggestions:

:# ls /dev/rtc*
/dev/rtc

:# dmesg | grep rtc
rtc-m48t86 rtc-m48t86: rtc core: registered m48t86 as rtc0
rtc-m48t86 rtc-m48t86: battery ok

:# hwclock --version
hwclock from util-linux-2.12r

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

:# hwclock --debug
hwclock from util-linux-2.12r
hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed, errno=19: No such device.
No usable clock interface found.
Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.

There was no point in trying the soft link, since /dev/rtc is already there.
