Description edpil02 2018-04-17 06:21:53 UTC
Got rt_cmos errors with the latest kernel-4.17 versions.
Remember to have no issues with the first versions (rc0.git1.1.fc29 ..)

dmesg | grep nvmem
[    0.709024] rtc_cmos 00:05: nvmem registration failed


Msi z370 pc pro motherboard.

Comment 1 Timur Kristóf 2018-05-27 13:56:56 UTC
This also happened to my machine using the latest rawhide kernel. Asked on the linux-rtc mailing list, this is already solved upstream.

Discussion:
https://marc.info/?t=152724036300005&r=1&w=2

The solution is to just use this patch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/abelloni/linux.git/commit/?h=rtc-next&id=c59b3715ac16544f8f68ab7af03f108e339b36aa

Thanks for your reply.

Comment 3 You 2018-06-03 14:29:31 UTC
Has that fixed it into latest rawhide kernel?

I am still getting the error with the latest rawhide kernel (no-debug repo on Fedora 28).

rtc_cmos 00:02: nvmem registration failed
+pnp:00:02

and the system fails to boot

kernel version 4.17.0-0.rc7.git2.2.fc29

Same issue :

4.17.0-0.rc7.git1.2.fc29.x86_64
[    0.652128] rtc_cmos 00:05: nvmem registration failed

But no boot problem ,system run smooth.

Comment 5 nanericwang 2018-06-18 01:53:48 UTC
Same issue on my laptop and my server.

Comment 6 Gerald Cox 2018-06-20 07:07:55 UTC
Still occurs on kernel-4.17.2-200.fc28

Comment 7 nanericwang 2018-06-20 07:14:07 UTC
Root cause is found:
You have to enable CONFIG_RTC_NVMEM in kernel.

You would only enable it if you had the necessary hardware to support it.  The correct resolution is to have the patch applied (and hopefully it will be soon) that is mentioned in comment #1.

This is now the forth instance I've encountered where spurious messages are being generated because optional (or hardware related to a specific processor such as Intel) isn't present (i.e. you are using AMD).  

This is just causing people to waste time searching for error messages that aren't errors.  It needs to stop.

Comment 9 Christian Labisch 2018-06-24 10:13:37 UTC
I experience the same issue on a SCHENKER XMG, CLEVO barebone based notebook.
