The problem on my Inspiron 3000 proved to be trivial. In addition to compiling the kernel with APM enabled, A new install of the APM Package (apm.deb for a Debian installation) was necessary. Now poweroff with shutdown is fine. MarvS
Hi Marv, I have an Insp 3000. I did have some trouble with APM with a 2.1.127 kernel--couldn't shutdown automatically. This was with RH5.2. With RH5.1, and a 2.0.34 apm-enabled kernel, it worked as it should. I'm not sure abt the 2.0.36 kernel though, seems like .36 broke some other things as well, like certain PCMCIA things. Perhaps you could try a .35 or even a .34 kernel.
