hwclock times out

[Sergey V. Udaltsov]

any operations with hwclock (starting with --show) return this:

Timed out waiting for time change.

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

Is this the same system which doesn't reboot (bug #21294)? What kind of machine
is it?

[Sergey V. Udaltsov (svu)]

It is dual-head Power G5 2.0GHz. Any particular system info you'd be interested in?

Running ubuntu 2.6.15-26-386 on a new Dell desktop GX-620. The
hwclock command doesn't work at all, and it says:

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

nixternal@MasTequila:~$ hwclock
Tue 03 Oct 2006 01:05:45 AM CDT -0.848528 seconds
nixternal@MasTequila:~$

Works fine here. Due to the inactivity and age of this report I am going to close it at this time. If you are still having this issue, I insist that you reopen this report. Thank you!
