[mythtv-users] Scheduled wakeup acpi-alarm vs nvram-wakeup

[Paul Poetsma]

Nvram-wakeup with a reboot works for me (MSI K7T277 Pro2) but I tested the 
ACPI suggestion to see if this is faster/easier. It works, as long as the pc 
stays on the power. So shutdown the pc, pull the powercable, start it to 
flush the last piece of power from the system, attach the powercable and it 
will never come up automatically. Does this make sense or did I have bad luck 
with the test (tested once) ?
