| Post subject: | ACPI wakeup work with Abit NF7-S mobo? |
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. Marc http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/AC ... SY_BIOS.29 |

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. http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=17366 He has all the R5F27 defaults screens shown. Even now I manually can not get it to wake up. But it works great. Motherboard ASUS K8N-E TVBox |

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! |
