Anybody knows how to make sure that the kernel will not mess with the hardware clock every 11 minutes? The proper way would be to use a kernel that doesn't try to do it, but I want to use Arch's standard kernel, which has CONFIG_GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE=y. Maybe something in /proc?
As far as I know the only thing that will trigger 11-minute-mode is that an ntp client tells the kernel that it is running.
I found in http://www.mail-archive.com/questions@lists.ntp.org/msg02172.html that "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/time/rtc_update" would do it, but we don't have /proc/sys/kernel/time/. Maybe this info is outdated, or it requires the PPSkit patch... Thanks J.A.
