2.4.18bf24 kernel and APM question
OK I've got Debian Woody 3.0 installed on my old Toshiba Tecra 700ct laptop. Took some tinkering but I've got it fully functional. I originally installed it with the 2.4.18bf24 stock kernel that came with Woody. Everything worked though I had to add one tweak to get the pcmcia to work. Now I upgraded and compiled my own custom 2.4.22 (and a test 2.4.19 with same results) kernel. I did this because the bf24 kernel tries to load a scsi driver that conflicts with the scsi controller on the deskstation V that I also have. Now The new kernel fixed the problem with the pcmcia (don't need the fix I used with 2.4.18bf) but now the apm doesn't power down the laptop with shutdown. I've done quite a bit of digging and have found that at sometime the apm module in the kernels no longer powers down machines as a feature. And I've looked at both the bf24 kernel config file from Woody and my custom 2.4.22 config file and all the apm features are set identically. So I have a couple questions. Has anyone got a possible work-around for this to get apm to power down again? And what did the developers do to get the 2.4.18bf24 kernel to power down machines with apm? Did they have to patch the kernel with a special apm patch or was powerdown still available with the 2.4.18 kernel and they lost it when the 2.4.19 kernel came out? I don't even know where to find this info. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am going to atach the config file and maybe you can sort out what is wrong with your configuration or if it is a bug or incompatibility with your laptop (they are allways harder to properly configure).

Re: 2.4.18bf24 kernel and APM question
Unfortunately it won't help. I already have those options enabled. I'm going to look at acpi one more time tomorrow. Your kernel obviously isn't for the Tecra 700ct since your's is compiled for a piii. The 700ct is just a classic pentium. It's a known issues with thoshibas and not powering down.
