Description Bernhard Walle 2008-03-20 17:37:25 UTC

'emerson.suse.de' has the boot parameter 'pnpacpi=off' automatically set after installation. This parameter leads to no PNP devices in the kernel which finally causes the rtc_cmos.ko driver to fail. This means that the RTC does not work (we switched from old drivers/char/rtc.ko driver to drivers/rtc/rtc_cmos.ko in 11.0).

Without the boot parameter, the machine works fine. Hardware information from the machine is attached.

Oops, I expect this was my fault.
I added pnpacpi=off to our general default PXE config file for:
11.0-install-auto-ssh
I reverted this change now (also in all generated files...), but I do not want to touch your machine (emerson).
Please reopen if you should still see this.
