If you mean the alarm wakeup enable, it only affects the APM alarm, not the ACPI alarm which are separate. There is no BIOS dialog for accessing the ACPI alarm enable.<br><br>Nick,<br><br>Tried echoing 0. No joy. I suspect it is because I have modified the /etc/init.d/halt script to read back the contents of /proc/acpi/alarm before posting the system clock to the hardware clock at shutdown and then re-echoing the value back to /proc/acpi/alarm which essentially treats it as setting the alarm for midnight GMT. Apparently the only way to stop it is to NOT re-echo after posting the system clock to the hardware clock as it had been doing when I couldn't get the system to successfully wake up at a specified time to begin
with.<br><br>Solution: Since my MythTV system should never be waking up at precisely xx:00:00 (otherwise I would be missing part of a show while the system is booting up ;-) ), I will expand the modification to /etc/init.d/halt to test the string obtained from /proc/acpi/alarm to see if it is the value I would get if the last value sent to it was "0". That value on my system is "2007-00-00 00:00:00". If I get a string match, just don't echo it back to /proc/acpi/alarm after posting the system clock to the hardware clock.<br><br>Here's hoping this works.<br><br>I'll let you know (tomorrow at the earliest, since it's already after midnight GMT here :) ).<br><div> </div>Craig Huff<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: come se fosse antani <antani@gmail.com><br>To:
