After booting:

# lsmod | fgrep -i rtc

(no rtc module loaded)

# modprobe rtc-cmos

(no complaints, module loads)

# lsmod | fgrep -i rtc
rtc_cmos               19256  0
rtc_core               28484  1 rtc_cmos
rtc_lib                11776  1 rtc_core

# ls -lh /dev/rtc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      4 Nov  6 17:37 /dev/rtc -> rtc0
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 251, 0 Nov  6 17:37 /dev/rtc0

Why rtc_cmos is not loaded automatically during boot?

This is Intel DX38BT motherboard (X38 chipset).
