shutdown my Fedora Core 6 system so that it will wake up when it is
time to record a show.<br><br>The pieces work, but not together.<br><br>I can use nvram-wakeup to set the alarm clock and confirm it is set in the BIOS.<br><br>I
can set the alarm with nvram-wakeup and shut down the system using the
front panel "soft-off" power button and the system WILL wake up at the
appointed time.<br><br>I can use Suspend2 to hibernate the system and recover on reboot.<br><br>I can use mythwelcome to invoke both of
these.<br><br>However, when I do this, the system never wakes up at the time specified.<br><br>I have tried the suggested change to /etc/init.d/halt, but no improvement.<br><br>I
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<br>- Parameters : 0 16 0 0 0 5<br>- Overall expected compression percentage: 0.<br>- Compressor is 'lzf'.<br> Compressed 290709504 bytes into 145282452 (50 percent compression).<br>- SwapAllocator active.<br> Swap available for image: 519908 pages.<br>- FileAllocator inactive.<br>- I/O speed: Write 81 MB/s, Read 105 MB/s.<br>- Extra pages : 22 used/756.<br><br>The mobo is an ASUS A8N-SLI with an Athlon 64
3200+ and 512MB. I upgraded to this from a Gigabyte GA-7DX mobo I had planned to use because I had the same problem with it using FC5 and thought it was just too old/incompatible.<br><br>
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>
<br>Any help would be appreciated.<br><br>
