rtc_cmos error


Lately, I get the following error during startup:

dmesg|grep rtc

Code:
rtc_cmos 00:06: rtc core: registered rtc_cmos as rtc0
rtc_cmos: probe of 00:06 failed with error -16
Google and Linuxquestions searches gave no hits. Any ideas?

Regards,
Marco

are you having problems accessing your hardware clock?
try
Code:
hwclock
and see if it prints some messages

No, no problems accessing the hwclock:

Code:
# hwclock

However, I have irregularly the problem that my system boots up with completely screwed system time (off by months). I will try again if that happens.
