I believe (on standard PCs at least) this wake up time is set by configuring an RTC alarm. I would try to find some way of checking the RTC to see if an alarm time is set, and disable that. Linux seems to support this at the kernel level, but I'm not aware of a program that utilises it. A couple of things I can think of: - Have another look through the BIOS and be sure there's nothing about alarms, PME wakeup events, wake on IRQ0 or anything else involved with the RTC. - Use the Dell Diagnostics CD. They're surprisingly thorough, I wouldn't be surprised if they test the RTC. When the test is complete it may leave the alarm disabled. - Unplug the machine's power and remove the CMOS battery for a few minutes if you can. This should cause the system clock to be reset, hopefully losing the alarm time in the process. Cheers, Adam. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
