New kernel installed: Cannot Shutdown

[Stephen]

Okay I've done another kernel config.Followed Stephen's suggestion-comment the acpi line in the .config and not the pc shutsdown.

Seems another kernel bug?

Looks like it may be one either that or the new ACPI does not like APM anymore either way it's damn annoying to say the least. I've got a celeron 450 (actually a 300a overclocked since I bought it five years and still going strong) I've compiled a couple of kernels on it they only took just over an hour but it has 512mb of ram. Good to hear you got it going BTW.

--Try this:
' alias make=make -s -j 3 ' and then do your compile. This will make only error msgs display and do 3 compile jobs at a time.

Going to have to give that one a try later you got all kinds of them little tricks Dave thanks.

I think I know what is taking me so long to compile a kernel-the number of modules. The way I do it is I just copy and save via make xconfig the orig config file. this way I avoid making decision as to what to include as modules. So many things on the config file are exotic names I never heard before and by default in knoppix are all in modules.

I think I will make this a separate post.
