Hmm.... Check to make sure that /etc/apm/event.d/00hwclock is installed, and that it looks reasonable. Make sure that the hwclock program is installed (although I believe that this is required on a Debian x86 system). And, perhaps most important of all, make sure that apm support is enabled in the kernel (try "cat /proc/apm" to see). Some people have mentioned that they needed to pass "apm=on" to the kernel at boot time to enable kernel apm support. If you (or your friend) is using lilo, then this can probably be accomplished by adding: append="apm=on" to /etc/lilo.conf, and re-running lilo. Warning: I haven't tried this, since my custom-built kernel seems to provide apm support without this. If none of that helps, then I may have to confess myself stumped. HTH, Chris
