I started /etc/module-ing rtc for use with lmsensors. The kernel config file
lists this as a "USB watchdog card". Maybe just because it is listed in this
group. Genrtc is a "generic" rtc driver for one who lacks this hardware
capability. As rtc used to work (or at least modprobe), I apparently have it.

Saw something interestic in my logchecks:
kernel: Generic RTD Driver v1.07

If I take this one off, the "real" one will modprobe :-)
Question is, who is loading genrtc BEFORE /etc/modules gets referenced?
Actually, I tried commenting it there and ... the error message remains so
something, somewhere is trying to load BOTH of them!

Anyone know anything about this?
