man hwclock
hwclock is what I used in the past.
Can also be used to test if talking to the hardware clock.
I tried to use hwclock to set the hardware clock to the system time,
here's the error I receive:
"select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out"
It is the same error I receive when booting and shutting down, when
the system tries to synchronize the hardware clock to the current date.
I repeat that this is happening to three Pentium 4 DELL PowerEdge
servers (two different models, tower and rackmount)
Please. help

At least to me, this confirms that the kernel is not able to talk to
the rtc. I would be looking at BIOS settings. This is beyond my
experiences.
A quick search showed that this problem isn't only in Fedora but
Debian as well. One suggestion was to turn acpi=off.
I turned acpi off and it worked. Thanks !!!
