The problem with debian is that CONFIG_RTC_CLASS is set in the generic configuration and from 2.6.26 onwards CONFIG_GEN_RTC is overridden by this (that's the reason we don't see it on our local configs). I'm not entirely sure what the correct fix is. It looks like GEN_RTC is being deprecated, so it might be to move to RTC_CLASS. I think the best thing is for me to try to put an arch override for RTC_CLASS and see what the reaction is. In the meantime, you can get a working debian kernel here: http://parisc-linux.org/~jejb/linux-image-2.6.26-1-parisc_2.6.26-4+b1_hppa.deb James -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
