Hey all,
Could anyone help me figure this out? I seem to be getting random
results with this one since forever.
What does it take to enable the Linux kernel to automatically power off
upon shutting down? AFAIK, one needs only to enable APM support during
kernel compilation.
What I got enabled:
Power Management Support
--> Advanced Power Management BIOS Support
--> Enable PM at boot time
--> Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls
--> Use real mode APM BIOS calls to power off
It makes sense to compile it as a non-module, so I did that. I also
tried modularizing it, then adding a "modprobe apm" command in the
scripts just right before the actual power off.
Funny thing is, on my previous kernel (2.4.18), auto poweroff works
fine, even the module version. Then upon upgrading to 2.4.19, it don't
seem to work no more. And as far as I can remember, I always encounter
a hit-and-miss situation even with the previous 2.4 kernel versions.
It's About Time I should be objective about this :P Any ideas?
And thanks!
