[mythtv-users] Real Time Clock Alarm Broken with 2.6.22+ kernel

[Chris Rouch]

I see the same problem on my laptop, an ASUS A6U series laptop running
FC6. I rolled back to kernel-2.6.21 (with the latest myth rpms from
atrpms) and everything works again. According to the bug report there
is a fix for this, but it will be 2.6.23 at the earliest before it's
usable
