For any of you that saw my thread trying to troubleshoot the acpi powersaving on my laptop, it turns out ACPI lost the war (standby didn't work at all).
Anyway, I've set my kernel options to acpi=off apm=on.
So what have you lost in the process?
Most modern laptops simply will not allow use of all periferals with acpi=off.
Well, I don't seem to have lost any functionality on my laptop (I don't know how "modern" it is - It's a Celeron 366 - old Thinkpad i1452... about 4 years old. No services show a failure on boot, system runs as fast as it did prior, AND I can "standby" the system fine now. (It will suspend, but the network card doesn't handle that process well - it refuses to wake back up. ifdown/ifup doesn't even revive it.) If you have any suggestions for other things to do that may work better, feel free to send them my way - I'd still consider myself in the Linux "newbie" stage, but I'm learning! (I tried compiling my first kernel the other night, totally broke my system, but managed to fix it without having to re-install SuSE from scratch :) Steve
