Many thanks for the info ........ After having a read and got my apm to work by ....
[*] Power Management support [ ] ACPI support <*> Advanced Power Management BIOS support [ ] Ignore USER SUSPEND [ ] Enable PM at boot time [ ] Make CPU Idle calls when idle [ ] Enable console blanking using APM [ ] RTC stores time in GMT [ ] Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls [ ] Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off and adding to LILO .. append="apm=on apm=power-off" It all works AOK, switches off wonderfully !! HOWEVER !!! If possible I would like to set this up so I dont have to append="apm=on apm=power-off" in LILO, I compiled APM as a module, removed, append " ...." from LILO inserted apm on power-off into /etc/modules and ta ta .. it failed !!! also tried .. apm power-off=1 ta ta .. it failed !!! Any ideas ?? If not I am still a happy bunney with the LILO solution. Many thanks Dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
