True, they do (once we fix #409551 and preferably also stop mkinitrd
from creating the device node with the old numbers).
The installer doesn''t though, as far as I know. It would need to do so.
Once we''ve started setting the clock in userspace, it then makes a
certain amount of sense to have the RTC drivers as modules instead of
building them in.
We''d need to make sure the right driver gets autoloaded, but that
isn''t
particularly hard.
While we''re at it, I''d also quite like to have a sanity check
after
setting the clock in rc.sysinit -- if it''s before 2000 or so,
I''d like
to set it from the latest timestamp found in /var/log. That''s _also_
going to be wrong, but it''s not going to be _so_ wrong that it prevents
you from even being able to log in as root to a VT :)
