Having the apm module should be enough (unless you want to use ACPI). You might have to modprobe it manually or add it to /etc/modules. If your power-off does not work, check with "lsmod | grep apm" if the module is really loaded. If it does not work even with the APM module loaded, you might have to enable CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF. Quoting from the help text for this option: Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if your computer crashes instead of powering off properly. -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
