Thanks.

If the BIOS don't support it, it is very unlikely that 
the hardware  may do.

You would need knowlegde of the chip set and the wiring 
of the board.

You can try "rtctest" (see "Documentation" on your linux disc) 
if the RTC-Interrupt is really able to wake up the board.
If so, you don't need this nvram hack at all.
