Got a working real-time clock? New kernels should be compiled without
the rtc module and, instead, should use the rtc-core and an appropriate
hardware-specific support (i.e. for PC's using rtc-cmos). So, if you
had previously configured your system to load rtc and it doesn't exist,
now, and you haven't updated the configuration, it could cause problems
like this.
Run "hwclock --debug" and see if you get errors. If so, try "modprobe
rtc-cmos" and see if all ("hwclock --debug" and LIRC) works better.
