Much modern hardware supports ACPI S3 (suspend to RAM) and S4 (suspend to disk). Usually *enabling* ACPI support is essential to make S3/S4 work, though some old hardware has other BIOS support for these functions (usually laptops). Important to note that WOL is unrelated to ACPI, so debugging WOL and broken S3/S4 are two fairly separate tasks.
I've used S3/S4 (with a script to automatically wake and hibernate after 2 days of inactivity) for my SC7 system on a few types of hardware over the past few years (under Linux, usually RHEL/CentOS). Search the forums for documentation (Most recently, I am using an Atom based MSI Wind PC, documented 'here' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=351462&postcount=10)). Also beware that it requires some luck to find a board that reliably supports both WOL and S3/S4 (most that I have tried do work, but fail to correctly receive WOL or resume about 20% of the time). Lack of reliability can be more annoying than complete lack of support, so thorough testing is important before taking the time to get SC and the music library configured... -- syburgh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ syburgh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54091 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
