I've downloaded the files, patched, and compiled the RTC timer module, but
haven't had a chance to test it yet (I will after sending this email).

The patch file operates on kernel/Makefile by adding "lists.o" to the OBJECTS
variable near the top of the Makefile, but lists.c doesn't seem to exist
anywhere, and this causes make to die. Removing the line continuation (\)
and commenting out "lists.o" in the list of OBJECTS allows make to run to
completion without error or warning. I'm working from CVS code downloaded
less than two hours ago, so I guess lists.c must be something you're working
on locally.

I'll give this module a try now, and thanks for putting it together.


Fred
