First, when I boot LiveCD, apm works ok, but when I enable it in kernel and boot from HDD, halt -p doesn't power off. The last message is "Power off" but nothing happens. I've tried to include the "Real BIOS apm call" (or something like that) in kernel, but it doesn't work.
Just enable 'Enable APM at boot time' in the kernel. The Read mode thing is for buggy BIOSes, and most modern ones don't appear to need it.
Another problem is console blanking. When it's enabled, my system freezes when it spends some time with blanked conole. Same thing happens if I try to go to console from X. Now, I've rebuilded it as a module, and it still doesn;t work. When apm is off none of this happens. My box is Celeron (Mendocino) 300A, S3 Savage3D AGP, 224MB SDRAM. What to do?
Might be the real mode APM calls above, screwing things up.
