I only tried wake from shutdown (poweroff), and like i wrote, on the 
same system with kernel 2.6.23.12 (nothing changed but vmlinuz and 
initrd, with the same kernel config on 2.6.24-rc6/7 (make oldconfig, 
default answer to all questions)), it works. so it seems to me like a 
problem in the kernel.

every wake-up setting (wake up by pci-device, rtc-alarm, modem ...) in 
bios is also enabled, otherwise it couldn't work in 2.6.23.12 (and windows).

if you say your sky2-card works, it might be a acpi-problem not related 
to sky2 like i thought - when i am at home i'll try to start my pc with 
a timer (--> /proc/acpi/alarm) from kernel 2.6.24-rc7 to check if 
acpi-wakeup works and report back (if it is any help in finding the 
source of my problem).

and regarding "printk" i'll try to find out what you mean (my first 
steps into kernel debugging :) - i think you mean adding a line in the 
source to print out something when the function is called)
