I'm just trying to confirm a few things for SuSE 8.2 It does not support APM in the kernel as shipped. It does not provide a module to load and get said support. In order to get APM support (old notebook) I will have to create my own kernel. What's the recommended way of doing this so that you don't get your customized kernel overwritten by the next SUSE update (or something else automated)? -- If God is One, what is bad? -- Charles Manson

Wrong.

Right (apm is compiled into the kernel - so no module is needed).

Wrong again.

Don't.

There is no need to compile your own kernel if all you want is APM to work. Just make sure ACPI isn't started (it can only be APM or ACPI - and if the kernel determines at boot-up that ACPI will do, it will choose ACPI instead of APM). Give "acpi=off" as a kernel boot parameter. Greetings from Bremen hartmut

Thank you very much! I'll give it a try on my notebook then. -- A husband is what is left of the lover after the nerve has been extracted. -- Helen Rowland

Hey, i've got the same problem. I tryed acpi=off now and it works.
What have i to change in my system settings, so that acpi=off will aplly at every system-start.
thx

thx
/boot/grub/menu.lst add acpi=off to the line saying something like kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 bla bla bla Hans
