Looks like some upstream work is being done: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/7/78 Looks like a conflict between the old RTC driver (CONFIG_RTC=y) and the new rtc_cmos module (CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS=m). We should be using one or the other. (Looks like the patch was never submitted.) This should be fixed in the latest builds. (3148 and above) The rtc_cmos messages are gone. I've now got: drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0) which I believe would have been provided by rtc_cmos. Not a big deal I think, but I thought I'd mention it. There are two other bugs open for that problem (230935 and 274261) Not entirely sure whats up with that yet. |
Description of problem: Logwatch reports: --------------------- Kernel Begin ------------------------ WARNING: Kernel Errors Present rtc_cmos: probe of 00:06 failed with error -16 ...: 1 Time(s) ---------------------- Kernel End ------------------------- dmesg contains: rtc_cmos 00:06: rtc core: registered rtc_cmos as rtc0 rtc_cmos: probe of 00:06 failed with error -16 Either: - it's a kernel issue that needs fixing - a kernel message that really shouldn't be reported - something logwatch needs to ignore. This is on an old Dell Inspiron 4150. Let me know if you need any more hardware details. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.21-1.3116.fc7
