I'm having an unusual problem with my MythTV box. I have ACPI compiled
in and working based on the information in /proc/acpi. If I power off
the machine manually using the power button during boot for example, I
can issue a wake-on-lan packet to power up the machine in the event that
my UPS shuts it down, or the like. However, if it shuts down using the
shutdown -h script to halt the machine, it doesn't respond to the
packet. I've tried doing "echo 5 > /proc/acpi/sleep" to institute a
sleep state but that doesn't appear to have any effect. Using 3 or 4
in that command powers off the machine hard (as I said, ACPI seems to
work fine).
Has anyone seen this or know of a way to get the machine to do a soft
power down and maintain the wake-on-LAN ability? Maybe there is some
ACPI setting tweak I'm missing to tell it to do a soft power down when
it halts?
The motherboard is an ASrock K7VT2 (VIA chipset) with a Linksys LN100TX
(I think) card.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
