Thanks! I use sarge's default kernel, 2.4.
It seems that I would wait for Debian 4.0, which use
kernel 2.6, in Dec, 2006
APM (Advanced Power Management) should work with that kernel. Is the
apm module already loaded? What is the output of 'lsmod | grep
apm'?
If the module is not loaded, run the command 'modprobe apm
power_off=1'. Add the line 'apm power_off=1' to /etc/modules so that
the module will be loaded automatically the next time you boot.
I have a similar problem. During the recent very hot weather here in
the UK, my box kept crashing. So I had to reboot a lot. I noticed that
when I hit the power switch, it didn't always "catch", the power supply
and fan started but the boot sequence didn't start. I had to power off
and on again. Then for some routine maintenance, when I shut the
machine down, it didn't power off... just to the black screen and the
fans still running. When I reboot, it gets to the point of the keyboard
lights flashing then stops screen powered down (light flashing rather
than on) and I have to power off with the switch and power on again.
It used to work at one time, I believe before I installed the k7 version
of 2.6.8 - I'd had the 686 version before.
I followed the above instructions and this is the result;
Yewdales-lodge:~# modprobe apm power_off=1
FATAL: Error inserting apm
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-3-k7/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.ko): No such device
[The file, apm.ko, is there, I checked.]
Yewdales-lodge:~# apm
No APM support in kernel
Any ideas how to get it back? The only things I can think of is some
change in my BIOS or a udev problem... of course, it's really something
of a mystery to me, so I could be wrong. If you need more info, please ask.
My processor is an AMD Duron 1GHz.
