I'm just getting around to trying 2.6.26.8-rt12 from the Gentoo pro-audio overlay. I built the kernel using an older .config and make oldconfig so maybe it didn't catch something correctly. Anyway, at boot the system is complaining about all file times are in the future and later on I see a message that it couldn't set the clock and I'll have to do that by hand. The machine then finishes booting and I get as far as X. Haven't tested anything more than that. the issue seems to be that the system cannot find my hardware clock, and frankly neither can I in make menuconfig so maybe someone can tell me where is the hardware clock? I'm hoping it's just misconfiguration and not something more devious. Motherboard is an Asus A8N-E which is nVidia based. More info provided if need be.
