Turn Off Yet APM/APCI ?
Hi;
I noticed there have been several new versions of Knoppix out.
I am studying to recompile my kernel......looks like a lot of work.
I was wondering if one of the new versions of Knoppix has apm/apci.....whatever is used to turn very new machines off along with the OS?
Thanks
Steve

I am not sure about this BeforeWisdom, but I can tell you, I think the Knoppix v3.2 I have has something...
When I select the Logout Knoppix from the K Menu, I get my original boot screen, still intact, with all the shutdown messages, Sending Term Signal and Sending Halt Signal, and when I press [return] after the CD pops out, my Hard Drives all spin down.
I don't know how Knoppix is doing it, because I have APM disabled in my BIOS. Having Win98, I didn't want Windows to play with power management, this included the Video monitor power down and the Hard Drive spin downs. Windows refused to keep from doing this, even when I disabled PM within Win98 settings, so the conclusion was to disable PM before Windows ever got to it. That way Windows doesn't see that it is even an option. I never got around to enabling it for Knoppix.
Does that help? Or am I just spewing out gibberish (as usual?)

It has apm. You can patch for acpi. Unless you have a laptop I think you're better off with apm from what I can gather. Knoppix will shut my computer down or reboot it out of the box. I can also put my computer in standby by using the apmsleep command.

I've been lucky and most machines work just fine with apm, but some of the older ones don't. There will soon (hopefully) be a Knoppix variant named Kanotix that has an acpi enabled kernel. If you've installed to hdd there is already an acpi kernel that is very easily installed. Have a look here.

Did that over a month ago already.

Kano's version seems to be online now, I'm downloading it from http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/kanotix/ at the moment...
