[mythtv-users] MythTv BE/FE go to sleep but doesn't wake up

Finally, it looks like it's working:

Feb 16 19:24:39 multisala kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped.
Feb 16 19:45:52 multisala kernel: imklog 4.2.0, log source = /proc/kmsg
started.


Thank you very much to all of you, all those time factores really got me
mad and I miss the chanche to blame BIOS - I could not believe that the
local OS time could be different from the BIOS one, not after a reboot, at
least.

The very-final test will be tomorrow, but I expect to see my BE/FE wake up
at the right time, this time :)
