 |
|
hi all,
i have been trying to get Acpi or APM to perform power down when i give the shutdown command to my machine. I searched the forum and found threads dealing with this and one of them suggested that i use "acpid".
however when i try to use acpid, it reports that:
| Code: | | "ACPI support is not compiled into the kernel" |
i have enabled every single option in the kernel for both acpi and apm but somehow is still get the same message. i am using gentoo 1.4_rc2. i remember that i was able to get power down working when i was using gentoo 1.2. i also know that my bios supports both apm & acpi. i am using Duron 1000 Mhz.
any help is highly appreciated.
thanx a lot

If I reemeber coorrectly though you can compile both at once in the kernel ssuccessfully. The kernel will only use one at a time. The one that gets uused, iss the first initialized at startup. Try recomppiling with out the apm. (sorry I haven't fixed the keybooard settings yett.)

Moved from Installing Gentoo.
What options are in your BIOS (ACPI or APM)?

If you compile both in then the kernel will automatically disable acpi because apm is activated first. To get around this, use the apm=off kernel boot option. |

thanx a lot everyone. i managed to solve the problem by removing apm support from the kernel. then acpi took over & i was able to do a power down without using acpid.
