A quick update:
I got hwclock to work by using the "--directisa" parameter.
Must be related to the mainboard/BIOS of the various Dell systems. I talked to a support guy and he confirmed that different
PowerEdge systems have totally different BIOSes and mainboards. Although he has not heard of my problem before...
Now the last question: When I shut down the system it tries to sync the system time into the hardware clock and it gets the exact
same error. How do I tell this process to use the "--directisa" parameter? Is there a config file or do I have to modify the
respective file in etc/init.d directly?
Add a
CLOCKFLAGS=--directisa
line to the /etc/sysconfig/clock file. Look at /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt at
around line 115 to see how that works.
