We've had some BCD_TO_BIN() changes here in 2.6.28 already, does 2.6.28-rc still have this bug? I'd check myself, but I don't have a /proc/acpi/alarm due to this: #if defined(CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS) || defined(CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS_MODULE) || !defined(CONFIG_X86) /* use /sys/class/rtc/rtcX/wakealarm instead; it's not ACPI-specific */ #else #define HAVE_ACPI_LEGACY_ALARM #endif thanks, -Len -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
