Hmm.. are there different nvram.c drivers? I noticed that SuSE 7.1 loads that driver in i386....
Also doesn't look a lot like Atari: * This driver allows you to access the contents of the non-volatile memory in * the mc146818rtc.h real-time clock. This chip is built into all PCs and into * many Atari machines. In the former it's called "CMOS-RAM", in the latter * "NVRAM" (NV stands for non-volatile).
