i've now installed a fresh os4, and rtcwake works just fine. [1]

i'm becoming suspicious that the rtcwake issue is either a bug in
rtcwake itself, or a separate system misconfig problem.  i did
see a case earlier today on a different machine where rtcwake was
not waking properly.  an strace showed that the value being
written to the RTC was exactly 1 hour too large.  playing with
the timezone and hwclock eventually got it working, but it's
arguable that since the command in question is supposed to set a
relative alarm ("rtcwake -m mem -a -s 5"), the timezone and
system time shouldn't enter into the calculation at all (and now
that i think of if, i'm wondering why the "-a" option is even
there).  i'm thinking there may be a DST issue in there
somewhere.

[1] on the other hand, someone has just informed me that:

could someone with SoaS3 insider info please verify that the XO-1
kernel is being built from the olpc-2.6.30 branch of olpc-2.6
repository?  i've seen that message before, but only on misconfigured
kernels.
