[Bug 43745] Re: Ubuntu corrupts real time clock on some dell laptops - problem appears on some desktops, too.

[Steve Newcomb]

I just installed Ubuntu 2.6.15-26-386 #1 PREEMPT Thu Aug 3 02:52:00 UTC
2006 i686 GNU/Linux on a DESKTOP Dell Optiplex GX620.

The hwclock command doesn't work.  The system says "select() to /dev/rtc
to wait for clock tick timed out".  Also I had some pretty weird
messages during installation about my battery being low; not sure if
that's related.

I think it's all the same problem, and I bet it's in /dev/rtc.
