I had time tonight to try this.  Under Linux 2.6.13 final.  Looking at 
make menuconfig shows that both Generic /dev/rtc emulation and Enhanced 
Real Time Clock support

Removing one and enabling the other, compiling and recompiling zaptel:

make clean;make linux26 make install (udev rules in place)

I am unable to do a modprobe ztdummy without the above error.  Any 
others running Linux 2.6.13 and successfully using ztdummy for timing?
