Hi Geert,

After activating CONFIG_RTC_CLASS and CONFIG_RTC_DRV_MSM6242 in the
kernel and finally being able to get the device nodes created
automatically by udev, the RTC now works... somewhat. 8 out of 10 reads
from the RTC (via hctosys inside the kernel at startup, hwclock from
userspace or cat one of the special files inside /sys/class/rtc) return
successfully, but the other 2 return an ioctl()-error. I forgot which
exactly, i'll go upstairs to the Amiga later and write it down.


The error reported by hwclock is:
RTC_RD_TIME: Illegal Argument
ioctl() to /dev/rtc0 to read the time failed.

If reading /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/time with cat, the error is:
cat: /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/time: Invalid Argument

Additional to that, the date seems to be correct every time i read it (for
example with "cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/date"), but the time seems to be a
bit strange. Even if the time can be read, i get different times from the
clock. 3 cat's in a row returned:
02:04:16
12:04:18
22:04:19

That seems a bit... odd. Any ideas?

The PCMCIA-network still doesn't work, i'll recompile the kernel with
CONFIG_APNE=y (instead of m), maybe that will work.


Still doesn't work, but i don't see anything PCMCIA-related in
/sys/{bus,bus/platform} either. I think that may be the problem, do i need
anything else besides of CONFIG_AMIGA_PCMCIA and CONFIG_APNE?

Maybe it's the debian patches that get everything out of order, i'll try
3.1.10 vanilla, maybe that'll work.


Regards,
Patrick
