[please cc me on replies] hi all,
i have this dell latitude C610, which runs perfectly fine with debian's stock kernel 2.2.20. however, i need some features from 2.4.x and thus went ahead to install kernel-image-2.4.17-686, which also boots just fine, but which freezes the computer everytime anything APM is done. this is the module list of the stock kernel after boot: i8k 4576 1 (autoclean) af_packet 11496 1 (autoclean) 3c59x 24936 1 (autoclean) i810_audio 18016 0 (autoclean) ac97_codec 9376 0 (autoclean) [i810_audio] soundcore 3556 2 (autoclean) [i810_audio] rtc 5368 0 (autoclean) unix 13700 18 (autoclean) ide-disk 6592 8 (autoclean) ide-probe-mod 7968 0 (autoclean) ide-mod 129452 8 (autoclean) [ide-disk ide-probe-mod] ext3 56480 7 (autoclean) jbd 34840 7 (autoclean) [ext3] which looks just fine. there is no apm support in the kernel, acpi is also off. whenever i shut the lid, try to suspend to ram or disk, enter dell's bios setup (Fn-F1), or let it sit long enough for the screen to blank, the system will freeze entirely. this seems to be a 2.4.x feature, 2.2.x worked fine. could someone maybe just tell me how i can make this work properly? please reply privately since i can't currently access my list mail. -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] "the well-bred contradict other people. the wise contradict themselves." -- oscar wilde
