acpi-wakeup, unless it has been fixed in newer kernels, doesn't allow to set the day but only the time. I'm using it with an asrock k7s8x motherboard
I wonder why that was no problem with 2.4.
We're talking about acpi wakeup, not nvram-wakeup
Was something changed in the "halt" statement with 2.6.x?
Too i don't understand, why the wakeup works, when i use the botton "short", but not when i pressed it "long". The BIOS is 1.7 is that a BIOS bug?
Usually a short press is a signal to the operating system to cleanly shut down itself and then turn power off[*], while a long press bypasses the os and cuts power directly. If the short press (or an equivalent "shutdown -h now") doesn't cut power, it's probably because you (or your distribution) didn't setup apm/acpi (whichever works best with your mb) correctly.
[*] actually you can do whatever you want with the power button, I configured it to send an "hitk power" command through svdrp.
