Hi Kevin,

Yes, I did. No difference. When I try to load the rtc-cmos driver it says:

:codes# modprobe rtc-cmos
FATAL: Error inserting rtc_cmos (/lib/modules/2.6.23-rc1ide_2/kernel/drivers/rtc/rtc-cmos.ko): No such device

I also just tried compiling the test program at the end of rtc.txt in the kernel tree. The first thing it tries to do is open /dev/rtc0 and fails, even though I've created it with mknod /dev/rtc0 c 10 135 (and re-loaded the rtc modules). This seems to be the crux of the problem: that node cannot be opened.

What I don't understand yet is what happens when the rtc-m48t86 driver is loaded. Dmesg says that the chip is registered "as rtc0" but what does that mean? It says that whether or not I've created the /dev/rtc0 -> /dev/rtc link, so it doesn't seem to look at what's in the dev tree. Could this be a udev problem of some kind? Is there some place in the udev setup where I need to configure something that is missing?

Regards,
--Jeff
