Sorry about the off topic problem...the compilation of the kernel and
PCMCIA stuff IS a problem however which needs to be fixed..:)
The best I can tell you is to use the fix provided earlier on the in
X-Windows screen problem when suspending...dish to a console window
(ctrl-alt-f1-f6) and then suspend...when you return, your xwin
(ctrl-alt-f7) should still be fine. As to the APM not working...is the
kernel compiling correctly? Are you sure you are using the newly compiled
kernel? (Make sure you've lilo'ed after compile)...if all these are yes
(i'm assuming they are) that's why this is a PRE 2.2 kernel..:) I'd
suggest downloading a 2.1.x kernel and trying Suspend...it's probably
broken in there somewhere and should be reported to the kernel people...if
it works in 2.1 but not in 2.2 then i'm really stumped and would still say
it's a bug that will be fixed in a future (before the release) kernel.

This thread has gotten way off topic, so I'll ask my question again.
Has anyone had any success with the "Poweroff on Shutdown" function in the
2.2.0 kernel? I've compiled like thrice already, and it won't work.
Similarly,
I still can't suspend in an X console without the computer acting as if it
has
taken some high grade sandoz purple,. This happens under both 2.2.0 or
2.0.36.
Using Xfree 3.3.3, all the latest drivers etc. Poweoff works fine under
2.0.36,
so why not 2.2.0? I'm using an inspiron 3.2k for all who care to know.
