Problen at boot service hwclock failed

Hi to all,

I'm having troble with hwclock, the service ad boot failed , and I couldn't find a reason, it is configured as told in the installation guide.

I've read that in modern kernel hwclock is not needed anymore, if the rtc clock is configured in kernel, maybe it is related.

I've noted that if I run hwclock as a user it raise an error about user is not authorized to open /dev/rtc0, but doing it at root all went well.

How to read the boot message to ppoint out the problem?

dmesg is not helping as dmesg | grep clock  seems to show no errors?

Regards

Carlo D.

Yes I've applied the istruction in this thread (I forgot to mention this), but yesterday, after a pacman -Syyu update the problem is reappered, maybe something is not taken in account by the openrc package mantainers?

Ok I suppose, that the problem is derivde from the openrc.

I've applied the istructions on the post you've linekd. (that suggesto to disable hwclock with rc-update ....) but the update of openrc (maybe not the openrc package iteself, but the package that sets the boot "services") seems to have reverted the changes restoring the default hwcloxk "service" at boot.

seems that also some other guy has had the same behaviour see: https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,1311.msg9317.html#msg9317
Let see if the future updates of openrc will make the error reappear.
