Hi,

i also have a TP 600e with Knoppix 5.0.1 CD HD-installed Debian-like, and i encountered problems using 'apm -s'. This one used to work fine on the older 4.0.2, but now it doesn't put the Computer into sleep mode anymore and makes some beeps. I gave it some experiments and have found out that i have to leave X (i.e. switch to text console on strg-alt-f2) AND have to remove possibly insertet PC-cards. (I have an Enterasys/Cabletron/Orinoco 11MBit WLAN) THEN the TP goes to sleep.

Does somebody have a hint for me what to do so that i can use apm like in 4.0.2?


EDIT:
....by the way....: When i boot my TP600e from Knoppix 5.0.1 CD with 'nodma' this works. But when i do a knoppix-installer from there, and boot the installed system, it crashes at kernel boot time.
-> But, when i boot the CD with 'pnpbios=off' instead, the Laptop also boots, and after hd-installation this system boots without any problems.


Greetings
