Then the apm/acpi of your bios isn't supported or you've explicitly turned it off by booting with acpi=off and/or apm=off. 'cat /proc/cmdline' will tell you if you aren't sure.

-ckm

proc/cmdline has in it: root=/dev/hda7 hdc=ide-scsi vga=791 max_scsi_luns=1 pci=acpi acpi=on

¿Should I try acpi=force? I have Suse 8.1

That probably just means that you need the battery and ac module loaded. 'rcapmd restart' and then try again.

If his machine is acpi type, shouldn't he start rcacpid instead of rcapmd?

Ah, of course. -- -ckm I have just tried all variations of start, restart before and after rcacpid. ..... it just gives me command not found Thanks for your help Norm
