RTC disabled in recent 2.6.24 builds for fc8 && rawhide
Last modified: 2008-03-06 11:37:26 EST
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 ?
kernel-2.6.25-ppc.config: CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=y CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS=y CONFIG_RTC_DRV_PPC=y
What about 2.6.24 fc8 builds ?
(In reply to comment #2) > What about 2.6.24 fc8 builds ? They are using the exact same configuration as 2.6.23 kernels used.
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.
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
