Description Marcin Kurek 2008-02-18 07:49:22 UTC
As I can see recent rawhide kernels (2.6.24) has completly disabled RTC support. 

# CONFIG_GEN_RTC is not set
# CONFIG_RTC_CLASS is not set

I wonder is there any reason to disable RTC completly ? If I remember correctly
PowerMac's doesn't have standard RTC, but some PPC platforms has it (Pegasos for
example) and it would be nice to use it.

Can RTC be enabled in fedora for PPC again ?

Comment 1 Chuck Ebbert 2008-02-20 20:46:50 UTC
kernel-2.6.25-ppc.config:
 CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=y
 CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS=y
 CONFIG_RTC_DRV_PPC=y


Comment 2 Marcin Kurek 2008-02-21 22:35:13 UTC
What about 2.6.24 fc8 builds ?

They are using the exact same configuration as 2.6.23 kernels used.


Comment 4 Marcin Kurek 2008-02-22 13:26:18 UTC
I am looking at .config file for 2.6.24.2-10.fc8.ppc (This seems to be latest
koji fc8 2.6.24 kernel) and see:

# CONFIG_GEN_RTC is not set
# CONFIG_RTC_CLASS is not set

Then it seems RTC is also disabled in .24.

Comment 5 Chuck Ebbert 2008-02-23 04:15:42 UTC
The GEN_RTC driver got dropped somehow. Fixed in 2.6.24.2-11:

kernel-2.6.24.2-ppc64.config:CONFIG_GEN_RTC=y
kernel-2.6.24.2-ppc64.config:# CONFIG_GEN_RTC_X is not set
kernel-2.6.24.2-ppc64.config:# CONFIG_RTC_CLASS is not set
