bootmsg: unable to open rtc device (rtc0)

[Richard Mittendorfer]

Hoi LKML,

I get this dmesg-message on all my lately build kernels:

...
drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0)
...

.config:
CONFIG_RTC=y
CONFIG_RTC_LIB=y
CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=y
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS=y
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE="rtc0"

I tried "rtc" also, as i do have /dev/rtc (but no /dev/rtc0). Maybe I
schould give it the full path?

Doesn't look like I'll really need it on these boxes.

I think the naming is somewhat confusing as it doesn't seem to include
the standard RTC build right onto the motherboards? Or is it a new
implementation which does/will handle these too? 

sorry for the noise,
