Scheduling a Hack to Start Up
I found out this morning that I could get my hack to startup at a set time from full power off by setting the schedule within Energy Saver.
I'm sure I tried this before in the past and it didn't work. Maybe it's something to do with the Voodoo kernel i'm not sure, but suffice to say i'm a very happy man.  I'm interested to know how many people this works for?

i already know, and right now not tested, but previously with my old Kalyway 10.5.1, it did.

Post edited. I wasn't implying that there was a new release or anything, just the advent of a kernel rebuilt for pcs. I'm surprised it works, i thought it would require a real macs EFI.

I didn't expect it to work either, but sure enough, at the correct time, surprise, surprise, it booted itself.
Perhaps something in the EFI emulation sets up the "turn on at set time" in the BIOS? That would be my guess.

Hehe, time schedule has another influence on my system: It resets the BIOS to default settings
System is installed on partition 2, XxX Final 2 10.5.6 using Adys 9.6.0 kernel. On 10.5.3 with 9.3.0 modbin kernel happens nothing. But I still have the 2 hr time difference problem and I don't know if the Engery Saving settings must be different, I'm always turning off all options in there. BTW, what Engery Saver icon do you have? A normal light bulb or an energy saving light bulb? 2 Opteron systems: OSx86 10.5.8, Andy's 9.8.0 kernel, Asus A8N-SLI Premium, Opteron 185 o'clocked @ 2 x 2,95 GHz (2nd system 2.6 GHz), ATI Radeon HD2600XT 256MB Dual-Monitor 2x HP L2035, 4 GB RAM, Griffin FireWave as main audio device, Marvell + nForce LAN, Asus U3S6 USB3/SATA6 card, 5,5 TB harddisk, Firewire 800 card, Apple Remote + eHome IR receiver, 2x Wacom serial graphics tablet, Canon Pixma iP4700, Logitech Internet Navigator wireless keyboard/mouse combination.

Oh now that (potentially) sucks. But it confirms this must fiddle with the BIOS in order to start itself up. But apparently the kernel has to be "special" (Voodoo or Vanilla) in order to modify the EFI/BIOS.

I don't need auto-starting or energy saving options... The computer is on when I switch it on and it only goes off when I switch it off. I don't see a need for sleep mode on desktop machines.

I ain't gonna try it unless I know it's safe.
A kernel that tinkers with the BIOS? wew.

I tried this, it corrupted the saved settings in my CMOS (returned a bad checksum in BIOS), so I had to go back in and set everything back.
