[Bug 1197871] Re: ACPI wakeup fails if HPET enabled in BIOS

 

I have this problem now that I have upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 with kernel
version 3.11.0-13-generic.

If I add "hpet=disabled" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable in
/etc/default/grub (and run sudo update-grub), then the computer wakes on
alarm.  Otherwise it does not.

I have had this problem on and off through various distributions of
Ubuntu.  I did not have this problem with Ubuntu 13.04.  I think I did
with Ubuntu 12.10 though.

Title:
  ACPI wakeup fails if HPET enabled in BIOS

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Problem: 
  if I type this (as root)

  echo `date '+%s' -d '+ 5 minutes'` > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm

  or

  rtcwake -d rtc0 -u -m no -t `date '+%s' -d '+ 5 minutes'`

  and then I shutdown the computer, it used to wake up after 5 minutes
  until I upgraded from linux-image-3.8.0-23-generic to a newer package.
  I've always had HPET enabled in BIOS.

  If I disable HPET in BIOS, my computer successfully wakes up in
  kernels > 3.8.0-23

  Maybe it's related to this patch found in the changelog
  zdiff /usr/share/doc/linux-image-3.8.0-23-generic/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/linux-image-3.8.0-24-generic/changelog.Debian.gz | grep hpet
  >   * drivers/rtc/rtc-cmos.c: don't disable hpet emulation on suspend
