Subject: [TCLUG] cmos hang up
Message-ID: <200106280402.XAA29318@unix1.sihope.com>

I finally got my airport nic up and running under Linux yesterday. It 
was a nice break to the double eth situation I am still working. So I 
boot trusty ol' Linux today on the notebook and it hangs on setting up 
the cmos clock. It boots into OS x and 9 without any problem.
However, now that I look at the time (osX) it is 12/31/69. I know I set 
the time. I also recall yesterday Kde was giving me trouble setting the 
time.
I did boot into single user mode and ran clock. The output was 1902 or 
something. The notebook is under warranty. Is there a work around to the 
cmos clock hang? Maybe running a script to envoke ntp prior to the cmos 
clock? I did clear the PRAM, to no avail.
