CMOS clock error ???

Hi all, I'm working on an old 486/33 getting SuSE 6.3 to run on it. After about a week I've got it to load everything (more or less). Now when I try to boot it it stops at "Setting up the CMOS clock" At this point it hangs and there's nothing I can do but a hard reset. Any ideas? <p>TIA! <p>Jim Hatridge hatridge@straubing.baynet.de Proud Linux User #88484 Owner -- beowulf-newbie list Don't blame me I voted for Harry Browne! www.lp.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim's Beowulf Project Looking for giveaway computers and parts I need it all!
