 .config - Linux Kernel v2.6.23-rc6 Configuration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 +------------------------- Provide RTC interrupt -------------------------+ 
 | There is no help available for this kernel option.                      |
 | Symbol: HPET_EMULATE_RTC [=y]                                           |
 | Prompt: Provide RTC interrupt                                           |
 |   Defined at arch/x86_64/Kconfig:471                                    |
