Hi;

I just put Knoppix 3.1 on a brand new machine. When knoppix shuts down it does not shut the machine down. I would like it to. I think I may need to recompile the knoppix kernel to include acpi.

I think this because:

- lsmod|grep apm returns no messages

- running insmod apm returns these errors:

------------------------------------------------
Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o: init_module: No
such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
---------------------------------------------------

lsmod | grep ACPI returns nothing

There is no /proc/acpi



Anyway, I think my machine can ACPI

Motherboard:
"Intel Desktop Board D845PESV"....this is also the name of the chipset.


My bios has a menu for power features called "acpi" ( not apci )
It had these options:

silent boot - enabled
intel rapid boot - enabled
scan user flash area - enabled
pxe boot to lan - disabled
usb boot - enabled
chasis intrusion - disabled.


Am I correct in my understanding that Knoppix is not put together in the same way ( kernel wise ) as regular gnu/linux?

I tried looking at some generic docs for recompiling kernels.

executing make[config|xconfig|menuconfig] just produces an error message a
" no rule to make target ( pick one of the previous 3 ) stop. I tried from /usr/src/linux

Anyway, how do I recopile the Knoppix kernel so shutting off knoppix shuts down the machine? I would like to keep everything else about the kernel the same.

Thank in advance for the info

Steve
