Hi,
Just recently upgraded with fresh Install of Eden beta 3. Everything works great but I can't edit the rclocal file to fix the remote wake up option.
I also can't access through SSH with ID root and PW xbmc. Please help

Login as root via via ssh is usually disabled by default. Try logging in using u: xbmc p: xbmc and use sudo to gain root privileges, so use 'sudo nano /etc/rc.local'

So,
I was able to edit the rclocal file, but my remote still will not wake up the Machine. I am able to wake it up with the keyboard but not the remote. I switched the IR USB receiver to the port that the keyboard was using and it still won't wake up the machine. The remote was working fine before the upgrade. Any suggestions?

What about adding 'usbcore.autosuspend=-1' to grub.
This use to work with Dharma live? There's instructions somewhere around for doing this then rebuilding grub.

Yep, add to the line as your example. Rebuild grub and give it a try.
In my instance, when the computer went to sleep (suspend), there was no power to the USB ports, so the IR sensor was not able to receive the wakeup.
Added this to grub and now the IR sensor has power while in sleep (suspend). Can tell as the red LED in the corner of the remote flickers when any IR signal is sent.
I hope it helps.
There is other info regarding power policy's but I didn't need to go that road.

Does the ir receiver light up when a a button is pressed and the machine is off?
Also what version of linux are you running xbmc on? Some things have changed remote wise since the last version of xbmc-live.
