It's worked well as a gateway and file server for over two years. When I boot 2.2.17, the machine always hangs at the Real Time Clock driver. Pressing any key gets it going, but this is a remote machine - which makes it a real pain. Without a clue, I ve done the following: I've put in a new cmos battery I renamed /dev/rtc to dev/somethingelse ( a suggestion from a ng) Same problem. Is there a way to fix this? rtc.txt doesn't say much. Can I do without it? If so, how do I compile the kernel without it? thanks jay _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
