How to pesistently configure a Macmini4,1 to boot after power failure? I do have a Macmini4,1 (2010) and I want to use it as a server so it will always start even after a power failure.

Please remind that I am running Ubuntu on it, not OS X. 

Still, based on what I found online I tried these options, none being good:


boot OS X recovery or installer, and run pmset autorestart 1
boot OS X and configure autorestart in Configuration panel
setpci -s 0:1f.0 0xa4.b=0 on ubuntu.


None of these worked so far...

&gt;lspci|grep LPC
00:03:0 ISA bridge: NVIDIA Corporation MCP89 LPC Bridge (rev a2)
The correct solution is to execute:

setpci -s 00:03.0 0x7b.b=0x19


Be carefull that this line is for this model, for other models read the full article from http://www.mythic-beasts.com/support/macminicolo_howto.html

Also, put this in rc.local, for some strange reason it block the computer if I put it in grub.cfg
