After toggling the UTC option back to "yes" (assume bios is set to UTC
recommended) in "/etc/default/rcS" the system did try to wakeup, but needed
manual intervention. Used to be once in a while and now almost every time,
after the bios screen I get a message like this is not a bootable disk
insert floppy and press any key to continue. I scrambled to find a live CD
the first time but now realize that hitting enter boots up, and later there
is a message "mount all disconnected from Plymouth" that may not be
verbatim, it goes pretty quick and the system is up. does anyone have
experience with this behaviour, or knowledge of how to correct it?
