Rather large box, and it's got no other fans than the one in the powersupply. FYI, it's a Deskpro EP6350. I'm in the process of fabricating a similar heatsink for a friend of mine, who's got a sound-studio, so he needs a very silent puter. All the data for the heatsink are available at Intel's developer site, look for "Thermal Guidelines". > > > Have you compiled apm into your kernel? also, there's a > > apm-tools package (I forget the exact name, but a search for > > apm in dselect should find it). > > Yes.

I have the same Kernel-options as you do, and the box shuts itself off fine. It also seems to spin down and go into sleep-mode fine, but this could be a hardware-thing (read: Compaq-bios-thing). I know people have made suspend and sleep and hd spindown work with debian apm -have you tried the list-archives? This comes up quite often... Good Luck Vitux
