Description K.J. Wolf 2002-07-02 13:54:18 UTC

On my Asus K7M (Athlon) motherboard, "gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r7" kernel fails to
poweroff with AM properly. Instead, the systems hangs.

Replacing arch/i386/kernel/apm.c with the file from the Redhat kernel fixes that
problem (for unknown reason).

try mjc-sources and report back... if that fails, try 2.4.19-rc2-acX... if 
that fails, write linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (linux kernel mailing list) and 
see what kind of response you get =)

Generally though APM is pretty outdated.. try ACPI

Probably there is a different reason for the APM malfunction. (Alignment?) I
could produce perfectly working results with a slightly changed kernel and an
unpatched apm.c from the vanilla package now.
