Subject says it all.

I have my 2nd backend which right now is only needed 1 day per week for about 2 hrs. It is an Abit NF7-S motherboard.
It has a Duron 1800 cpu, 512meg or 1 gig of Ram, Nvidia 5500 video out and a PVR500 capture card.

It does duty as a Front end as well when I have other family at the house.

The machine runs great although I can't get it to startup according to the ACPI wakeup instructions.

Any help or insight is appreciated.

Thanks!

Have you added the necessary changes to hwclock.sh? (i.e. the ACPI wakeup has to be written after the hwclock is set on shutdown)

Also, with my MB, I have to start it once with a manually set time in the BIOS before it will start accepting ACPI set times.

Also check out the "Fussy BIOS" information on the mythtv wiki. There are multiple things to try -- I had to use them all to get ACPI wakeup to work with my ASUS motherboard.

looking through the various docs and the well written wiki article for ACPI wakeup. I don't remember seeing an instruction to change hwclock.sh.

I am still just trying to get this machine to "Wake-up" before I make any other changes.

I found a clearly written manual for this Board and it talks to Wakeup or the RTC alarm being able to wake the machine up from Suspend.

The manual gives 2 references for Suspend so I may fiddle a bit there. The only other item may be in the method that Knoppmyth or the underlying linux shuts down the machine.

I don't know enough about that stuff yet, so I'll keep digging. This is one of those items, that has been on the back burner for this machine since I added it to the farm.

Thanks!

How have you been setting the wakeup time? I just set mine up on an ASUS M2NPV-VM with little trouble. The only trick I found was that the time had to be in UTC format rather than local time. To see your time in UTC, type
Code:
date -u


When you automate everything with mythwelcome, it adjusts the time for you automatically in one of the scripts.

I worked on this on and off for over two years doing the same thing as you trying to get this machine to "Wake-up" before I make any other changes. One day out of frustration I installed it and it just worked. If you use graysky post you can uninstall if it doesn't work.

He has all the R5F27 defaults screens shown.

Even now I manually can not get it to wake up. But it works great.

I will give it a try just setting up all the mythwelcome stuff.

In a way that is what i referring to in the Shutdown stuff.
I seem to remember somewhere there are different types of Shutdown or Suspend that take the machine to a different level, somewhere between full on power and pulling the plug.

Thanks!
