 |
|
Hi everyone,
I got my gentoo box up and running on a purple imac 333 mhtz computer and everything runs fine, except that when I run shutdown or poweroff or reboot it kills all the programs and does its normal shutting down procedure but it doesn't actually turn off, it just sits there and I have to pull the plug because it doesn't respond to the power button on the actuall computer. Any ideas on how to make it cut the power itself? |

It's probably since you haven't compiled apm into your kernel?
From your system specs I would guess ACPI is not supported but not 100% sure. You need either apm or acpi to automatically power down. |

Hi,
I would recommend you using ACPI not APM. But I don't if APM or ACPI is supported, lets give it a shot.
You can find it in "Power Managment" section, which is almost at the top (5. section). If you use "make xconfig" or "make menuconfig" it is easy to find.

| I can't seem to find power management in my kernel. Is it in the 2.6.9 kernel? |

Yes.
After typing
Go to
| Code: | | Power management options (ACPI, APM) ---> |
The options are in there.
