Am using Parallels 2.1 build 1670 with Gentoo Linux (2.6.16-gentoo-r6 kernel) as the host OS, and consistently get a warning when starting a winXP VM:
But /dev/rtc does exist (links to /dev/misc/rtc), /dev/misc/rtc is world readable, and 'grep rtc /etc/udev/rules.d/*'
produces
However, as I understand it, /dev/rtc can only be accessed by one app at a time. Is this correct? If so, is there a solution to this issue? The issue itself isn't fatal, as the VM runs ok regardless. TIA for any light, and sorry if this issue has been solved before -
Cheers, Rolf
Parallels Workstation encountered a problem with the /dev/rtc device. This may be caused by one of the following reasons: (1) you do not have proper system permissions, (2) the device is not found in your host PC, (3) the device is used by another process. The absence of /dev/rtc device may downgrade VM performance and make internal timers slow.
