Same problem to me with Ubuntu 7.10. Before the update from Feisty everything worked like a charm, but immediately after the update i can write the wakeup time a thousand times to /proc/acpi/alarm, use or don't use the poweroff - kernel, the machine sleeps forever.
@Leann: Even the new kernel from hardy did not work - i tested it exactly the way you described. -- [GUTSY] RTC alarm does not retain setting from /proc/acpi/alarm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139846 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
