 So you want acpi ON, right?  Are you sure your BIOS supports it and that apm in your 
 kernel config is turned off?  If it does, then your kernel config should be almost

 #
 # ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support

 CONFIG_ACPI=y
 CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y

 I used to have the same problem as yours and it did almost drive me nuts before.  
 But the above has been working fine so far. I am not sure how 2.4.22 works, but if 
 it still compiles acpi stuff as modules, don't do it.  Just say 'y' and make em part 
 of the kernel.   I am not sure about that 'append' paramater in lilo since i use 
 grub, but i did find some things on google:
 
 http://cybernightlife.50megs.com/acpi-on-deskpro.html (scroll down to see it)
 
 http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LILO-9.html (scroll down and you will see many examples of 
 the syntax to use)
 
 Good luck.

I tried what you suggested (just compile the kernel with acpi set) but
it doesn't work.

My motherboard is an ASUS a7v266-e.

I'm going to try some thing else.

Thanks

What version of sysvinit are you running? 2.85-16 had a bug that
caused this. Has been fixed in the current version.

2.85-15
I upgraded to 2.85-20 but still no joy.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

2.4.26 upgrade = no auto power off

2004-06-09 Thread Glenn Meehan
Hi,

I just upgraded my kernel from 2.4.18 to 2.4.26 and now my system won't
auto power down.

I am running testing/unstable.

I have:
apm power_off=1
in /etc/modules

root:~apt-show-versions apmd
apmd/testing uptodate 3.2.2-1

Here are my relevent kernel configs:

CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_APM=m
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
# CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set
# CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set
# CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set
# CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set
# CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF=y

#
# ACPI Support
#
# CONFIG_ACPI is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y
# CONFIG_OPTIMISE_SIZE is not set

Any suggestions as to how I can get my system to auto power down again?

Thanks

Check your dmesg, I'll wager you'll see something like this:
ACPI disabled because your bios is from  and too old.

If so, you'll need to pass acpi=force to the kernel. There were a lot of
acpi changes sometime around 2.4.22 which included a blacklist of bios's.

dmesg | grep acpi = yielded no output

I passed acpi=force to the kernel but I am still having the same
problem.

If I already have an append statement I take it that the syntax is eg.

append=hdb=ide-scsi acpi=force

Thanks
