apm and linux

apm and linux

[Patrick Turnage]

Hi.
I have an old IBM Aptiva 2144-A12 and it has APM Features for power saving.
I can get it to go in to the low power saving state by issuing the
apm --standby
command, but soon after it returns to normal operation.
how can I have it remain in the power saving state until I bring it out?

Patrick

Let me piggy-back on this question:  how do you make linux shutdown a 
computer with ACPI?

You use either halt or your power button. Note that you need to have acpi configured into your kernel for halt to actually shut down the machine.

Ah, then I guess let me rephease my question:  how do I configure ACPI in 
the kernel?

Thanks!!

You need to read the kernel howto, and follow all the steps. Not fun at first, but not so bad afterwords if you save your .config file as you upgrade from kernel version to kernel version.

Is that in the Redhat manuals or on the CDs somewhere?  And there isn't an 
option during install to do that?  I intend to upgrade to RH80 so maybe I 
will try that when I am installed :)

Thanks!

Hi David. Have you rebuilt a kernel before? Check the kernel howto for
in-depth instructions. Note: Most of the info there pertains to older 1.x
kernels. The modern sequence for things is: make mrproper make config make
dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install. If you don't know what
a particular question refers to, check
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help. This file contains
information on the various configurable drivers and what they work and do
not work with.

   This company has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
   If the problem persists, delete winblows and install linux

No I haven't rebuild a kernel *yet* but if it all boils downs to changing 
some scripts and then recompiling the kernel then I guess I am about to 
rebuild a kernel :)

Let me read up on the HOWTOs and the docs and hopefully will be able to do 
it...  I guess I will put linux on a spare box and then try on that first, 
so it won't affect everyday operation if I 'gooded' up the kernel :)
