[Voyage-linux] ntp does not start on reboot - hwclock does not have usable clock interface

[(spam-protected)]

Hi,

I have problems stetting the clock in voyage 0.7.5 on Alix 2d3.

I've installed NTP and added few server to the conf file. As you can see below, ntp synchronize to one of the servers and has many backups.

# ntpq -p

After a reboot the date goes to March 2043 and ntp is not running anymore

# /etc/init.d/ntp status
NTP server is not running ... failed!


Moreover I tried to copy the system time in the hwtime and seems that hwclock has some problems as you can see below.

# hwclock
Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.
Use the --debug option to see the details of our search for an access method.

# hwclock --debug
hwclock from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed, errno=2: No such file or directory.
No usable clock interface found.
Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.


May I have your advise?

Many thanks
