Re: Is anyone using wake-up on A7N8X deluxe *with* 2.6.15 ?

I wonder if maybe you've got a bad CMOS battery? the failure to wake
after 220v power failure makes me wonder. Also, the inconsistency of
your results makes me think that as well. finally, as far as I know,
the kernel change shouldn't affect it at all, so long as the data is
getting written to the right places. Definitely check that
battery...

Bingo ! It was the battery: it provided only 1.2 V. That was enough to
keep CMOS content, but apparently, it did muck up the wake-up circuits.

I did not think that a Lithium battery could be exhausted after only 2
years or so. Apparently, my mobo consumes more power than my watch....

Now that I've replaced the battery, wake-up works normally.

Thanks for the help. (and sorry for the late reply)
