NVRAM WakeUp

Tracker: BIOS/MB list

5 Gigabyte EG45M-DS2H - ID: 2564249
Last Update: Comment added ( tiber )


This is only lightly tested, as I only wanted to check whether it works at
all. It did. :)

You need to reboot for the NVRAM time to be taken over by the BIOS, i.e.
first run nvram-wakeup, then reboot, then immediately halt, then leave the
machine in this state and it will boot at the set time.

(Maybe you should collect this information for the different motherboards
as well; what reboots etc. are necessary to make it work. The info should
be in a machine-readable format, so eventually Linux distributions can
automatically use it.)

Thanks! The config will be added to the SVN soon and will be part of the
next release.

For what it's worth, this motherboard also works nicely with ACPI wakeup
via /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm (Linux 2.6.28.2), without an extra reboot
- that is probably a bit simpler than NVRAM wakeup.
