I am having a strange problem with setting the alarm on a Biostar M7NCD (nForce 2 / Award bios) on Fedora 5 (MythDora distribution).<br><br>I can echo a date out to /proc/acpi/alarm ok. I can then cat and it looks fine.<br>
<br>However, when the system shuts down it doesn't wake up. When I start it manually, I see the date is "2006-00-00 09:58:00". I thought the problem was related to the Fedora 6 issue on <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/ACPI_Wakeup">
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/ACPI_Wakeup</a> during halt to reset the clock. So I put that in the halt script:<br><br><pre>==> ACPITIME=`cat /proc/acpi/alarm`<br><br> [ -x /sbin/hwclock ] && action $"Syncing hardware clock to system time" /sbin/hwclock $CLOCKFLAGS
<br> <br>==> echo "$ACPITIME" > /proc/acpi/alarm</pre><br>I added a cat /proc/acpi/alarm > /home/mythtv/alarm to verify it reset it ok. It does show that:<br><br>Syncing hardware clock to system time [ OK ]
<br>2006-12-09 09:58:00<br><br>But after booting manually, it shows date as 2006-00-00 09:58:00. Any ideas what I could try?<br><br><br><br>
