Hi there
I need someone expert about compiling the kernel
When in X the battery is with X and says that i need at least to enable control method battery and AC adaptor
I compiled the kernel all ACPI apm are enabled but still no dice
rcapmd status
Checking for apmd:unused
apmd
No APM support in kernel
uname -a
Linux SoftParade 2.4.19-4GB #1 Wed Sep 25 18:58:10 UTC 2002 i686 unknown
Acpid is the only one that seems to run.
( ) Within the bios there's nothing about ACPI APM
Cause it's a new laptop
I have to add that before i log into X if i press the button to
suspend the monitor goes off but when i log in X there's no action at all.
Anyone ? Any help will be grateful
Thank You

ACPI support in the 2.4 kernels is not really good enough for general useage. If you want to use features like battery and AC adapter status (and others), you'll need to patch your kernel. You should find what you need at: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/download.html

Okay but what with the make menuconfig ....
Last time i tried i had a kernel panic about VFS cant mount root fs on 03:02 i think ...
I use Grub
My steps were :
make menuconfig|changes|make dep|make clean|make bzImage|make
modules|cp /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz.old|cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage
/boot/vmlinuz|Grub ( where's the make modules_install ) and within
grub> root (hd0,1) | setup (hd0,1) | kernel /boot/vmlinuz | boot

Should i try there and get a patch or kernel
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.5/
I'll appreciate it if you can help me out
I could'nt find anything about grub though to check if the steps i took were okay

I'd wait on the 2.5 kernels. I'm running a patched 2.4.21-pre3 and it's working nicely. Once you apply the appropriate patch, 'make menuconfig' should give you a couple extra menu items for power management.
Also, 'make clean' should preceed 'make dep'

I was sure i could deal with the panic kernel
I Did chainloader(hd0,1)+21 and went all good
But ...
Still no apm support by kernel acpi not at all ( should i try apm acpi =on as well ? ) Even the dmesg rcapmd status unused etc
Or i should try the patch ( which one should i get for my distro ) or update my kernel ( which one again )

Download the 2.4.20 kernel: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2
Patch it to 2.4.20-pre4: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/testing/patch-2.4.21-pre4.bz2
Patch it with the ACPI patch: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/acpi/acpi-20030218-2.4.21-pre4.diff.gz?download
Patch it with the kernel-level suspend patch: http://fchabaud.free.fr/English/Tricks/Laptop/Swsusp/patch-acpi-acpi20030125-swsusp18.gz
'make menuconfig' The additional options for APCI will be present.
Enable them.
Recompile.
In the mean time, read the documentation on the pages above. Read it all.

Alo'
Well i always get a kernel panic VFS about mount root VFS n' stuff after every make dep of my kernel.
And i go through lots to deal with the panic kernel which i can deal with it
But i cant keep the compiled kernel for the reason i've told you before
I load manualy de default kernel , then i reconfigure man too the grub
and so on and i can work again w/o install again But still no dice with the compile
() I'm on SuSE 8.1 pro ( no other os's , just linux in the whole hdd )

Greetings ,
Allright with the kernel.Acpi/bluetooth/irda
Every thing works great , like Rock
The steps to deal with the kernel panic were ( if you configured with reiserFS / scsi emulation within the kernel's options otherwise these were the causes ) are
a) root (hd0,1)
setup (hd0,1)
c) kernel=/boot/vmlinuz
d) initrd=/boot/initrd
e) chainloader (hd0,1)+1 ( or +21 )
f) boot
