Description Thomas Weidner 2005-12-08 17:50:34 UTC
when having built rtc as a module the clock initscript might be run before the
module has been loaded (and so waits without success for /dev/rtc). When the
module is loaded via modules autoload everything works nicely, but when the
module is loaded via coldplug it is not there when clock is run.
I know that this is a quite exotic szenario, but if it causes no problems i
don't see a reason not to change the order, it can make things work for more
people without having to tweak their module autoload list.

add rtc to your modules.autoload if you insist on building it as a module
