I've done the upgrade of the BIOS, but the problem persists. I've found out how to change the time of turning the computer on. Go to you BIOS -> power management -> enable the wake on RTC alarm and set the alarm on the desired time. Restart the computer, re-enter the BIOS and now disable the "wake on RTC alarm" option. Your computer will now turn on at the specified time, ignoring the "enabled/disabled" option. Looks like kernel ignores that BIOS option and always react as it is enabled.
You can also temporarely disable the turning on of the computer with the following commands: $ sudo -i # echo +0000-00-00\ 00:00:01 > /proc/acpi/alarm Note that if you issue this command at e.g. 2008-08-20 09:00:00, your computer will turn on on 2008-08-21 09:00:01, provided you didn't turn on the computer for the whole day. Looks like kernel ignores date option as well as enabled/disabled option. After I figured that out, I made a little script that always set the alarm one second in the future at the shutdown process, thus getting a 24 hour guarantee that computer won't turn on. Unfortunately, lots of writing in /proc/acpi/alarm somehow messed up my BIOS, so that after couple of days of using the script, it somehow messed up my BIOS, thus making impossible for any OS to boot. Ubuntu kept giving me a kernel panic, and XP a blue screen. After a flash recovery, I made a clean install of gutsy and now everything works fine. 2008/8/19 sipan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi > > I have exact the same problem (only time is 2:22) and the same MSI > motherboard.
