------- Comment #5 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-08-12 22:50 ------- That the /sys/firware/acpi/interrupts/ff_rt_clk becomes "invalid" won't affect anything. It indicates that the ACPI_EVENT_RTC event is disabled. In fact "166 invalid" means that ACPI_EVENT_RTC event is already triggered 166 times. In fact the patch in comment #3 will enable/disable ACPI_EVENT_RTC event by calling the rtc_wake_on/off hook function when updating the relevant RTC control register. Maybe the patch in bug 11153 has already done. But in the patch in bug 11153 the event is still enabled after it is triggered. Maybe on some machines the event will be triggered periodically. IMO this is not very reasonable. If the patch in bug 11153 is only used for test, I won't disagree with it. What I point in comment #2 is that the event should be disabled when RTC alarm is not required regardless of whether the system is in sleeping state. It should be disabled when the system goes to sleep unless RTC alarm wakeup is reuired. At the same time the event should also be disabled when the system is in running state. If not, maybe the suprious pheonomenon will happen on some machines. Maybe I misunderstand the description of this bug. What you want to say is why the RTC event handler becomes "invalid" spontaneously. Right? If so, the invalid state doesn't mean that the RTC event handler is realy invalid. It only indicates that the RTC event is disabled. If RTC event is enabled again, it will be triggered again.
