I've just merged a shiny fresh new series so perhaps things there got fixed. Please retest next -mm.

Maybe we went and chose a different governor for you? Perhaps it would be helpful if you could do a diff -u dmesg-2.6.23-rc3 dmesg-2.6.26-rc3-mm1 ? > And the SUSE startup sequence displays "failed" for the acpid daemon. > So it seems there is some strangeness wrt to system time and power > management.
