How to recover from power failure with Mini

One important thing in VDR system is that it can survive from different kind of error situations. OS X has option like "Restart after power failure" so I was expecting that the option is saved to pram or somewhere anyway. But I just found out that if I unplug the power cord from Mini when Fedora is running and the putting the power cord back in after a while Mini wouldn't restart. Ouch!

Once again Google gave me some answers. Results pages were saying that in ppc machines you can use:

echo "server_mode=1" > /proc/pmu/options

But x86 linux doesn't have system like that. Luckily after some more googling I found the solution:

setpci -s 0:1f.0 0xa4.b=0

Not so logical, but it works :)

P.S. I bought Logitech Harmony 525 for 30,30 euro.
