Currently, Linux assumes an A2000 clock chip, which is an Oki MSM6242.
If it's a Ricoh RP5C01, you have to modify arch/m68k/amiga/config.c to
select an A3000 clock chip on A600.

The kernel outputs: "Amiga hardware found: (...) A2000_CLK (...)", can i
rely on that message, or should i get the A603 out of the case and check
the chip to be sure?

You cannot rely on that message. It just assumes A2000/A500/A600 etc.
have an A2000-style clock chip. But on all but A2000 the RTC is optional.
BTW, I also asked Jens Schönfeld.

Jens confirmed it has an MSM6242.
