On r4.7 I added 'device apm0' to the kernel konfig file, and 'apm_enable="YES"' to the /etc/rc.conf file, and 'shutdown -p now' with the new kernel would work fine.
On r5.0 I get an error when adding 'device apm0' while 'device apm' is accepted. Now the 'shutdown -p now' command fails to turn of the PC power using the recompiled kernel. I am using the same PC in both cases. I did a r5.0 install on a virgin HD. Any hints on what is different in R5.0 is appreciated. regards from Kjell To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
