And there finally seems to be a possibility to search the archive. :)

Hmm, if I understand you right, 2.4.20 fails because of the clock stuff
but pcmcia would work, and other kernels fail because of the apne stuff?

Btw., which kernel did you use to install the system?

Maybe you want to turn off the /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh script to
temporarily stop the system from writing to the clock registers during
startup/shutdown. It gets called in rcS.d as well as in rc6.d if I'm
right.
