[Fedora-xen] Long boot time (hwclock problem)

[Guillaume]

Hi all,

A new problem for me. Since I was able to run guests with Xen, I'm
stuck with a time synchronization error each time system boot and
stop.
each time theses events occur, the VM seem to stop running (nothing is
displayed on screen) and after 5-10 minutes, normal  `init` go on and
the
 system work fine. After some search, I saw that's the problem comes
from `hwclock`. When i run it manually it display this error :

hwclock from util-linux-ng 2.13
hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed, errno=19: No such device.     <<<<<
Using direct I/O instructions to ISA clock.
Last drift adjustment done at 1423924190 seconds after 1969
Last calibration done at 1423924190 seconds after 1969
Hardware clock is on UTC time
Assuming hardware clock is kept in local time.
Waiting for clock tick...

I delete & recreate /dev/rtc but it does not solve the problem.
Maybe this problem was discussed before on this list but i was unable
to find any search tools on fedora/redhat website and manually search
against the subject for the 6 last month did not return me any good
answer.
So, maybe a quick solution about this veeeerrrryyyy long boot time exist.

Thanks for your help.
