Hi,

I am having troubles booting my 8-way P-III machine.
On boot it hangs in init script boot.clock.
It prints,

"Setting up the CMOS clock"

and hangs. So I disabled that script and brought up
the machine and ran command manually. It looks like
it waits forever to read from /dev/rtc.

Is this a known issue ? How do I fix the problem ?

Thanks,
Badari
