Package: apmd
Version: 3.2.2-12
Severity: minor
>From http://packages.debian.org/en/lenny/apmd:
"Debian kernels are built with APM support but it is disabled by default. You
need to boot the kernel with the "apm=on" option if you want to enable the
driver. (You may need to add this option to your lilo command line.) "
So the package description states that debian kernels are built with APM
support, and you only have to give apm=on at boot to enable the APM subsystem.
But at recent debian kernels (tested it now on 2.6.29-1-686, but as far as I
can remember it was the same with 2.6.28 and 2.6.26) APM support is /not/
compiled in:
$ cat /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/mapper/lvm-root ro pci=irqmask=0x0e98 apm=on vga=0x318 splash quiet
$ sudo apm -v
No APM support in kernel
I guess there are good reasons not to ship kernels with apm support, given
that apm is a technology from the 90s, but the package description of apmd
should give hints how to get apm support enabled anyway (I guess you have to
compile your own kernel, do you?).
So maybe the paragraph should be:
"Since lenny Debian kernels are not built with APM support anymore. You
need to compile a kernel with apm support enabled to use this package. "
Or something similar. If there is any "official" Debian-HowTo for compiling an
own kernel, maybe give the link or package name.
