I use nvram-wakeup for my PVR.

However I do it from complete power-off (my bootup is *really* fast).
I don't know if it will work for ACPI resume, however it's worth a try.

Also, if your motherboard is not on the list, you can run the little
scan app to try to figure out the BIOS values, however it is a bit of
a hassle to run/setup.
