Hi
I have a dual P3 machine running Gentoo 1.4. It was a hassle getting SMP to work on this machine because of the VIA chipset, but I got it to work, but now I can't get APM to work. I compiled the kernel with APM support and specified the option in lilo:
| Code: |
image = /boot/linux-2.5.25-nodri-apm-vna
root = /dev/sda3
# append="devfs=mount noapic apm=on acpi=off hdd=ide-scsi"
append="devfs=mount noapic acpi=off apm=on hdd=ide-scsi"
#root = /devices/discs/disc0/part3
label = Gentoo-apm
read-only # read-only for checking
initrd=/boot/initrd-1280x1024
|
I installed the apm utilities, but the utilities keep complaining with the following error message:
| Code: |
serengeti root # apm
No APM support in kernel
|
So I decided to dig through the output of dmesg, and here is what I found:
| Code: |
serengeti root # dmesg | grep apm
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=Gentoo-apm ro root=803 devfs=mount noapic acpi=off apm=on hdd=ide-scsi
apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16)
apm: disabled - APM is not SMP safe.

Seems apm wont work with smp. If anyone has managed to work this out, please let me know how you did it. Thanks |
