How do you set --directisa on a Red Hat 9 system?  I have looked all over my
RC files and can't even find hwclock mentioned.  Thanks.

*SECOND TRY*

I modified the boot up script /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit to call hwclock with
the --directisa flag but I am still experiencing a hard kernel freeze with
the last message being 'EVEVENT-0286: *** Error: No installed handler for
fixed even [00000000]' this message shows up twice and are the last things I
hear from the kernel before having to reboot.  I have tried these kernels
2.4.21-rc8-laptop1 2.4.21-rc4-laptop0, 2.4.21 w/ latest acpi, 2.4.21-ac1 but
met not success.

Oh and for those of you with other problems with the Z1A check out this

If you add the debug flag, you'll see that it hangs waiting for a clock
tick. Using --directisa works around this.

Except your clock is wrong. :)
