-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just recompiled and installed the cooker kernel on my laptop to take advantage of the power-management features. It's a newish laptop (presario 700), so PM is done entirely in ACPI. What I changed was the following:
In processor type and features: change 586 to athlon change mobile athlon powernow! from module to activated turn APIC for uniprocessors off In general setup: turn PCI hotplug off change all ACPI features that are marked as 'm' to 'y' turn advanced power management BIOS support off However, when booting the new kernel ACPI does not seem to be functioning, there is not /proc/acpi folder and fan, processor are always running at 100%. Also acpid will not start because there is no /proc/acpi/event folder. Could it be that the system wants the ACPI features to be in modules. The steps for compiling the kernel were the following: make mrproper make xconfig make dep && make clean && make bzImage && make modules make modules_install && make install I had compiled from the vanilla kernel with the acpi patch applied, and everything worked, but I wanted the Mandrake kernel features as well (eg. supermount, PCMCIA support, etc.). And it should be said that with the default kernel I had to turn off acpi at boot (acpi=off), otherwise the boot would hang. Did I want too much? Any ideas?
