Description of problem: We have computers that we are suspending to RAM and would like to wake up at a certain time. However if hwclock is run at boot then computers that are suspended will never wake up when the designated time arrives (and passes). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.16-1.2133_FC5 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot computer. 2. Log in as root. 3. Run modprobe -r acpi_cpufreq (see Bug #195367) 4. If the date is 2006-06-17 17:40:50 then run echo -n "2006-06-17 17:41:50" > /proc/acpi/alarm 4. Run pm-suspend . Actual results: Machine stays asleep until keyboard is pressed or mouse is moved. Expected results: Machine to wake up on or just after 2006-06-17 17:41:50. Additional info: If chmod -x /sbin/hwclock is run and the computer is rebooted then it will correctly wake up at the designated time.
