My SC server wakes from ACPI S3 (suspend), S4 (hibernate), and S5 (poweroff) with no additional intervention configuration. I use CentOS 5 and did not need to modify the halt/shutdown scripts as seems to be necessary in Fedora (from post). I suspect this change to the halt script is not really necessary as Fedora versions that are now several years old had already avoided removing interface options at shutdown (and old versions of Fedora are the basis for RHEL/CentOS).
I set the WOL option using ethtool as part of system *startup* (e.g. ETHTOOOL_OPTS="wol g" for me, where to do this depends on your distro, or use /etc/rc.local) rather than shutdown, which avoids issues with hibernate vs suspend vs shutdown scripts (all use different scripts, e.g. pm-utils) as the option is already set *before* shutdown begins. If a formerly working config longer works with new hardware, I would focus on the NIC (is it different/less supported), BIOS (probably different, is PME# wake enabled?), and ignore the blinking lights (they do not confirm that WOL is working). As always, there is definately more than one way to make this work. No reason why adding the ethtool setting to the halt script would be better/worse than setting it it at boot. Also beware if you suspend/hibernate that you will probably need to set the WOL option *again* after resume (I just restart the network service as part of the pm-utils resume script). The CentOS 5 version of pm-utils is not smart enough to do this automatically... -- syburgh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ syburgh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52108 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
