That posting to the list is imho, missing the mark in this case where we don't even have any hardware to turn off the psu. Before going to the bother of a kernel recompile, it's worth a try to ensure that the power control daemon is not started at boot up, then it can't do its panic announcements on power-down. remove the links in the /etc/rc.d/rc[1-6].d directories to the daemon control script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ I don't know if you have apmd or acpid installed, you will have to pick the correct one. Take great care, remove the wrong link(s) and you could stuff things up monumentally. I'd suggest you move the link files to a safe and temporary home before removing them completely. Once that works ok you could remove the daemon start script and the daemon itself. > On Saturday 29 Mar 2003 9:31 am, Daniel Fone wrote: > > Hi guys, > > > > I'm getting to that very pleasant stage in my linux install where I'm > > really starting to fine-tune things and I have to say that Mandrake 9.0 > > is the first distro I've ever got this far on.
