I'm not sure what to do, how do I make these changes? when I run the following it gives me somewhat the same values, but it seems the BIOS clock i different (?!) # hwclock ; date Sun Apr 8 20:13:56 2007 -0.069330 seconds Sun Apr 8 20:13:55 CEST 2007 it worked before daylight savings, is it something I can ignore and still get it to wake up the corret time? should I change TIMEZONE="Europe/Copenhagen" to TIMEZONE="UTC" ?? /Morten On 08/04/07, Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

My guess is that you have to set ACPI wake times to *exactly* the time zone you use your RTC in. Typically UTC, but semi-broken MS-compatible setups use the local time zone. The kernel can know the timezone, but almost nobody ever sets that right, and it is not summer-time aware anyway (too complex). It is best to just keep everything UTC as far as the kernel goes, *including* the RTC. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
