I started /etc/module-ing rtc for use with lmsensors. The kernel config file lists this as a "USB watchdog card". Maybe just because it is listed in this group. Genrtc is a "generic" rtc driver for one who lacks this hardware capability. As rtc used to work (or at least modprobe), I apparently have it. Saw something interestic in my logchecks: kernel: Generic RTD Driver v1.07 If I take this one off, the "real" one will modprobe :-) Question is, who is loading genrtc BEFORE /etc/modules gets referenced? Actually, I tried commenting it there and ... the error message remains so something, somewhere is trying to load BOTH of them! Anyone know anything about this?
