Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-686
I am unable to use /dev/rtc at all.
This is proving to be very problematic for running vmware.
I've looked around on google and no one seems to have come up with a solution to this problem.
If I try to read from /dev/rtc, even as root, I get
opening `/dev/rtc': Device or resource busy
I've checked if there are any other processes holding the resource with fuser, but nothing is shown:
root@serenity:~# fuser -av /dev/rtc
/dev/rtc:
I'm seeing this occur straight after boot up, there seems to be no way to access the real time clock.
I am using Dapper 6.06
My CPU is Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 1.60GHz
