[Bug 43661] Re: ThinkPad X60: select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out

[Jonathan Hitchcock]

I can confirm this on an Intel dual core Pentium. I synchronized my
clock with an NTP server on Friday, and started up NTP, which should
have kept it in sync. I rebooted today (Sunday) to install a video card,
and my clock is several hours wrong again - I suspect because it got set
from the hwclock, and NTP won't correct it by such a big jump.  I can't
query the hwclock, though, with the same error as above:

$ sudo hwclock
select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out
