Hi Jerry,

Is that with ztdummy loaded or not? By default, Linux doesn't have anything
that uses the RTC interrupt, so without ztdummy it will usually stay at 1.

Once ztdummy and zaptel are loaded, then you should see it incrementing.
If not, that suggests a problem.

I have just installed ztdummy on a new system running 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5,
and it is incrementing fine. I didn't realise there was a newer kernel out;
I'll have to update and try again.

I didn't know the "watch" command - that's cool!

Cheers
Tony
