you shall set acpi=off in the boot menu. You can set it via Yast or editing \boot\grub\menu.lst (\etc\lilo.conf if you use lilo). You CANNOT have both acpi and apm enabled. SuSE kernel come with acpi enabled by default (from some mantel-kernel and by default for 8.[1|2]) You live in Italy? where did you get SuSE 8.2 ?

Hi again,
Have now tried default kernel as well as kernel with multi-procssor support and when trying to activate apm ( either at boot or whilst up and running ) I still receive the error message "APMD not supported by kernel". Does anyone have any suggestions as that aptop is often suspended and resumed many times in a day and having to reboot woud be a PITA as well as being against the spirit of never rebooting ( My 8.0 install would remain live for months without a reboot ).
Out of curiosity - are you loading the apm.o module when your kernel is booted? If not - apmd doesn't have anything to talk to in the kernel and would probably give you the error described.
Just a thought.

Trudheim Technology Limited Answer is "I dont know" -- I simply went with the installation as it went -- that machine is at home at present - how would I check to see if apm.o is loading and if not how should I go about loading it automatically ( my ignorance shows here )?
Thanks for the help
