Based on your hint I tried the real time clock functionality in kernel 
(see linux/Documentation/rtc.txt ). The test programs run very fine, but 
it had no effect on the real time clock alarm settings. In more detail: 
the alarm clock work if I set my computer to suspend mode. There is no 
effect, if I power off my machine. But I thought that would be possible 
with the small nvram utility.

So my question is can I enhance the rtc functionality to alter the 
values in bios or do I really have to spent hours changing the bios 
settings and investigating this terrible bios hexdump? Any hints on that?
