Hi Punky,

I started testing 0.8.0. Development: VMware, target Alix6.
I'll post my findings.

hwclock
=======
During shutdown, there is an error:
  Saving the system clock.
  Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.
I adjusted /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh - hwclockfirst.sh for saving & resoring clock during (soft)reboot:
HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa -u --noadjfile"

It would be nice to add the parm in a /etc/default/hwclock file, with content:
# Defaults for hwclock.sh and hwclockfirst.sh initscripts

# Set this to any options you might need to give to hwclock, such
# as machine hardware clock type for Alphas.
HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa -u --noadjfile"


And update the initscripts with:
# Include hwclock defaults if available
if [ -f /etc/default/hwclock ] ; then
    . /etc/default/hwclock
fi


Thanks, Teco
