I was able to use power management on my desktop with kernel 2.4.22 but once I upgraded to another 2.4.X kernel I started having problems. The desktop would go into power-saving mode but would not wake up no matter what I tried.
I installed Debian from the beta 2 installer, and am running unstable: "Linux 2.4.25-1-686 #1 Tue Feb 24 10:55:59 EST 2004 GNU/Linux" With kernel 2.4.22 I enabled power management in the BIOS and placed "apm" in /etc/modules. Everything worked fine. But once I upgraded the "obsolete" kernel, the machine would drop into the power-saving mode but not wake up. I would move the mouse, hit the keyboard, and get nothing. The only thing I could do was reboot the machine with the reset button. This happened whether I had "apm" in /etc/modules or not. (That is, in both instances power-saving was turned on in the BIOS.) Here is some ACPI-related dmesg output: BIOS-e820: 00000000040fdc00 - 00000000040ff800 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 00000000040ff800 - 00000000040ffc00 (ACPI NVS) ACPI: have wakeup address 0xc0001000 ACPI disabled because your bios is from 99 and too old You can enable it with acpi=force ACPI: Subsystem revision 20040116 ACPI: Interpreter disabled. PCI: ACPI tables contain no PCI IRQ routing entries Any ideas? Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
