set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 0 to 59
I was trying to figure out why I periodically get the message
set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 0 to 59
on my console. It appears that the kernel is attempting to update my CMOS clock for me, based on the more accurate data being provided by my xntpd.
According to the notes in the code, this should work if my RTC is less than 15 minutes off... which I can guarantee it is. Accoring to hwclock, it's less than a second off.
So, what's causing this message?

Check the power supply cabling, I had those messages due to a faulty contact on a Tyan S1590, after fixing the P8 and P9 (AT-style) power plugs, those messages were gone.
