Description of problem: Using /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm to automatically turn on the system at pre-set time no longer works. Wakealarm currently functioning under FC9. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.27-0.244.rc2.git1.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: persistent Steps to Reproduce: 1. Disable RTC alarm setting under BIOS * Assumed that we want to wake up the system in 5 minutes. * Time is set to LOCAL instead of UTC * Local time is set EST (New York time, UTC + 4hrs) => 240 min 2. # initialize wakealarm echo > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm 3. # set to wake up in 5 minutes. (-235 => adjusted for EST -4hrs) echo `date '+%s' -d '-235 min'` > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm 4. # verify the alarm setting cat /proc/driver/rtc 5. /sbin/shutdown -h now Actual results: PC does not wake up Expected results: should automatically turned on PC in 5 minutes Additional info:
Has this still been an issue for you in newer kernels eric?
It is working on the latest rawhide build. Thanks.
