jeb@jebslinux:~$ cat /proc/driver/rtc
rtc_time    : 17:37:11
rtc_date    : 2009-12-16
alrm_time    : **:**:53
alrm_date    : ****-**-**
alarm_IRQ    : no
alrm_pending    : no
24hr        : yes
periodic_IRQ    : no
update_IRQ    : no
HPET_emulated    : no
DST_enable    : no
periodic_freq    : 1024
batt_status    : okay
jeb@jebslinux:~$

Am rather curious now.  I checked the .config of my kernel by a grep -i 
hpet, and find:

CONFIG_HPET_TIMER=y
CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC=y
CONFIG_HPET=y
CONFIG_HPET_MMAP=y

Should CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC be set to n on a realtime kernel?  Is 
there something else which might invalidate CONFIG_HPET=y ?

J.E.B.
