Hi,
I had 2.4.19 kernel from kernel-source working here (on freshly
updated woody to the last updates) with APM (suspend OK, no
hibernation -- of course, and no powerdown), but then I needed
2.4.20 (because of USB Visor module). I tried to switch to ACPI,
but did not succeeded. When I have recompiled again 2.4.20 kernel
with APM and without ACPI, compilation went on without problems,
but when I try to start apmd, it says that BIOS not found. Which
is strange, given the previous kernels worked with the very same
BIOS and computer.
This is my kernel configuration in the particular part:
CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_APM=m
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y
CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y
CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y
# CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF=y
Any thoughts on how to make APM work again?
Thanks,
Matej
