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

[(spam-protected)]

Thanks Adrian,

/etc/default/ntp has already the -g option...

the problem was related to an error writing the time at shutdown

It seems fixed thanks to the post [Voyage-linux] Testing pre-0.8.0 - hwclock

still not sure how to fix the problem with hwclock
# 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.

Cheers

Davide
