In the BIOS I have ACPI enabled and the box is set to wake up at 06:00 in the morning. I am using a disk drawer to easily change operating systems. When I am using a disk with Windows 2000 or Linux and turn the box off at night, it will turn back on at 06:00 as expected. When using the disk with R4.7p4 and doing a shutdown -p the box will not turn itself on the next morning! I realize that the ACPI functions are not fully implemented yet, but I fail to see how it should influence a cold boot. Any ideas? What I am attempting is to have the box turn on, do its thing and turn itself off until the next morning.
