Does the kernel HPET support has problems or the hwclock from util-linux?

[rae l]

from this address, I know util-linux-2.12r is the latest:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/util-linux-2.12r.lsm

My Dell OptiPlex 320 has 4 HPET timers and no RTC, so the execution of
hwclock has errors:

gektop@tux ~ $ /sbin/hwclock --show
select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out
gektop@tux ~ $ /sbin/hwclock --version
hwclock from util-linux-2.12r

I wonder is there (kernel.org) a specific description of hwclock and util-linux?
