OK, well then acpi=off will have to remain in effect. I need the modem, no question about that. But I can't seem to get any APM functionality out of this kernel. The stock kernel config file seems to indicate that APM is present, and the kernel accepts the boot parameter "apm=on", but I don't seem to be able to get it to do anything -- not even power the machine off with "shutdown -h now". Short of compiling a custom kernel, which I really don't have the disk space for, do you have any suggestions? It seems to me that the old sarge 2.6.8 kernel that I custom built would do this.
I realize that technically this is beyond the scope of this bug report, but the requirement to get the internal modem working, which is after all the whole purpose of this package, forces acpi=off. And that in turn raises the issue of how to get apm to work. A laptop with no power management is not a good thing. Again, I am using the stock Debian Lenny kernel, 2.6.26-1-686. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
