Hello, I try to make apm working and I can't !
I buy an hp zt1201s and I install debian woody on it. Now I try to use apm but linux can't find the apm bios. Perhaps bios in on the hard disk, so I install windows again with the reset cd. I install windows and I can see how the battery is. it's possible ! With fdisk I erase hda2 [a 19GB partition] and I let the very beginnig of the hard disk (8 MO) and the /dev/hda1 "OS/2 hidden C: drive" partition for memory recovery after sleeping. I put lilo on /dev/hda2 (not /dev/hda : there is a diagnostic program inside the bios) I write append="apm=on apm=power-off" in my lilo.conf and make lilo. But I can't sucess any apm command. When I type poweroff the laptop halts but do not power off. I must use the switch There is no /proc/apm file And dmesg | grep apm sends "apm: BIOS not found" How can I manage the battery ? Thanks a lot. François
