I have a desktop machine with an Intel i810 chipset. It seems that APM is buggy with this, because the kernel locks up while trying to activate the apm device at boot time. I have four questions: 1) Has anybody gotten APM working with this chipset? 2) Without APM, how can I spin down the hard drive after, say, two hours of inactivity? 3) How can I make the machine shut itself down after I run `shutdown`? Presently, it just tells me to turn off the machine. I would like the powersupply to turn off automatically after a shutdown. 4) If I can't accomplish 3), I still have a problem. This ACPI power button I have doesn't turn off the machine after I run `shutdown`, it just resets it. After the POST runs again, I can then use the power button as usual. Is there any way to fix the powerbutton? Thanks. -- Andrew Hesford - ajh3@chmod.ath.cx "355/113 -- Not the famous irrational number PI, but an incredible simulation!"
