Yeah I got the apm daemon, it's the debian/unstable version though, maybe I should get the latest sources? > > The apm options I've configured are: > > > > CONFIG_APM=y > > # CONFIG_APM_DISABLE_BY_DEFAULT is not set > > # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set > > CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y > > CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y > > # CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set > > CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_SUSPEND_BOUNCE=y > > # CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set > > # CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set > > # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set > > Ok, very close to my configuration...

When I type apm -s, one of two things happens: - The command pauses briefly, then decides to ignore me and returns to the command prompt. - The system does indeed seem to stop. But the machine doesn't sound any quieter. The fan is still going and the hd's probably also. > I tried to stop a drive (not the root linux one) and then I was unable > to wake it up and the system crashed... How did you try to do it? I've got /usr/sbin/hdparm -S 60 /dev/hda in /etc/rc.boot/ and the machine hasn't hung yet; then again I haven't really noticed the HD stopping either. Is there a test program which will stop the HD right away? In other news, my machine was hanging like crazy yesterday morning, but maybe this is because I was trying out the 2.4-test7 kernel and acpi. -chris
