Check your dmesg, I'll wager you'll see something like this: "ACPI disabled because your bios is from YYYY and too old."
If so, you'll need to pass "acpi=force" to the kernel. There were a lot of acpi changes sometime around 2.4.22 which included a blacklist of bios's. > Hi, > > I just upgraded my kernel from 2.4.18 to 2.4.26 and now my system won't > auto power down. > > I am running testing/unstable. > > I have: > apm power_off=1 > in /etc/modules > > root:~>apt-show-versions apmd > apmd/testing uptodate 3.2.2-1 > > Here are my relevent kernel configs: > > CONFIG_PM=y > CONFIG_APM=m > # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set > # CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set > # CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set > # CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set > # CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set > # CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set > CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF=y > > # > # ACPI Support > # > # CONFIG_ACPI is not set > CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y > # CONFIG_OPTIMISE_SIZE is not set > > Any suggestions as to how I can get my system to auto power down again? > > Thanks > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
