Description Joshua Jensen 2002-03-27 13:38:43 UTC 
Description of Problem:

I've got a Asus A7V133 motherboard.  The hwclock command in rc.sysinit never
completes, and causes the system boot-up to forever-hang.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

util-linux-2.11n-9, 

How Reproducible:

95% of the time, system boots don't complete

'strace setclock &> /tmp/clock.txt' (which usually never completes) yields the
attached file.


Thanks.
