I am also having problems with APM, but on a different laptop. On my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4290, halt -p works fine, but as of a few months ago (can't really remember when), the machine will not suspend when I press the power button, it just turns itself off immediately (i.e., not a clean shutdown). Closing the panel will not work either, I just hear a beep and nothing happens. I can suspend it with 'apm --suspend', though, and it works fine. I am running sid, with kernel 2.4.17 + preemptible kernel patches. I tried the kernel options you suggested, but nothing changed. Nuno Subtil [EMAIL PROTECTED]
