On your suggestions I went through the BIOS, disabled the PNP OS option (it was enabled), and verified the ACPI facilities were enabled. For ACPI the motherboard (an MSI motherbaord) supports S1 and S3 type suspends, I'll have to check the manual today and see what the difference between the two are. For APM, I have it on user define, and I think I disabled APM for devices as I don't like the powering down of any items within a server to be done. Should I fine-tune this somehow? > (and that APM and ACPI is running on either?) Hmm.. neither has the apmd running, although they both have the rpm installed. Should I enable the apmd service, I thought it was only for laptops? I appreciate you help. Michael. http://search.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Search - Looking for more? Try the new Yahoo!
