new RTC hw and panic() procedure

Jan 21, 2004 0 Replies

Hi Two questions please:



  1. I have a new RTC hardware on my PPC board. I would like to connect the clock to the Linux's real time clock, so the date() call will read the time from my RTC hardware (or driver) How can I do so?




  1. I would like to decrease the time of panic procedure (the time from panic() was called till the kernel boot starts. Do you know what are the steps during the panic() call that are not really necessary?What are the steps that panic() call does? Do you know some good link that can explain it?



Thanks a lot
