(Get the code!)
The script uses the system wakealarm IRQ as a convenience to trigger the power-on after X seconds. Not every system honors the WAKEALARM IRQ however.
If the system can successfully shut down and be powered back on, by any means, this is a successful test. The use of the wakealarm is simply to help keep the tester from getting a sore finger from having to push the power button 100 or 250 times.
It IS possible you could get this resolved with a BIOS fix, perhaps?
As a final test, does the multi-cycle hibernate/resume test work?
I would imagine (you'd need to confirm this with someone more knowledgable though) that it would be possible that the wakealarm would work in a suspend/resume situation because the system remains at least partially powered on, where in a power-off or hibernate/resume situation, the system is in a completely shutdown power state and may NOT change states via wakealarm.
