Re: /proc/acpi/alarm -- does it work or not?

Last time I checked (2.6.15-rc[45]) it worked fine -- I use it routinely
for S3 stress-testing (speaking of which, my machine has just failed to
resume after some 20 days of uptime and > 150 S3 cycles).

You got it mixed up. It's either
"2005-12-28 19:50:00" for absolute or
"+0000-00-00 00:01:00" for relative.

RTC IRQ counter is incremented whenever the timer triggers, regardless of
whether the system is up or down (my system, at least).

HTH, best regards,
