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">

can set the alarm with nvram-wakeup and shut down the system using the

tried setting the alarm time twice with manual invocations of
nvram-wakeup (to the same time) followed by a forced shutdown (shutdown -n now), but no
improvement.<br><br>FWIW, here is the debug_info from Suspend2:<br>Suspend2 debugging info:<br>- SUSPEND core : 2.2.9<br>- Kernel Version : 2.6.18-1.2869_1.fc6.cubbi_suspend2<br>- Compiler vers. : 4.1<br>- Attempt number : 6

I would consider using a different distro, but based on Jarod Wilson's
website, I would expect that FC is suitable. I find it hard to believe
that this new ASUS mobo is incapable of supporting ACPI suspension and
wakeup by alarm clock.<br>
<br>I am running out of ideas.<br><br>I've been struggling with MythTV since September and just about run out of patience. If I can't get this working this month, I'll just have to give up on Linux and MythTv and go buy a Tivo because "it just works".

<br>Any help would be appreciated.<br><br>
