I.e. i386/amd64 have motorola RTC (and clones) based system clock setup in boot sequence "arch/x86_64/kernel/time.c". Also, how it interferes with time_hpet.c? There seem to be confusion what RTC timer and RTC clock is: <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=386226> Also util-linux package maintaining was under question in lkml recently. I think, i should update rc script i rewrote for hwclock with more info. I agree with you, that on PC hwclock is useless, unless dual-boot users are not in consern. I'll try to review and test patches. I wonder, why they were not posted before, but just before 2.6.19?
