<br>hmmmm,<br>Have you tried to disable the set HW clock setting ?<br>Also, if your method involves writing to /proc/acpi/alarm do you write in the right format and do your shutdown script run with the right priviliges.<br>
I use /proc/acpi/alarm on my a8n-vm cms with the HW clock setting disabled, setting hw clock on shutdown made wake up fail occasionaly.<br><br>/Henrik<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/17/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

I would consider using a different distro, but based on Jarod Wilson's
