I'm using the stock kernel-image-2.6.6-i686 and my desktop is unable to use either APM or ACPI, both of which are built-in.
BIOS has power-saving turned on, with the timer set to 30 minutes. When booting the stock kernel, I get a message that my BIOS is from before 1999 and I cannot use ACPI. Then I get a message that apm was loaded. However, even with apm loaded the desktop never goes into power-saving mode. So I tried acpi=force, and this is what I get: Linux version 2.6.6-1-686 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.3.3 (Debian 20040401)) #1 Wed May 12 14:57:57 EST 2004 <snip> ACPI: RSDP (v000 PTLTD ) @ 0x000f6ac0 ACPI: RSDT (v001 PTLTD RSDT 0x00000000 PTL 0x01000000) @ 0x040fdd77 ACPI: FADT (v001 DELL KHAN 0x19990921 PTL 0x000f4240) @ 0x040ff78c ACPI: DSDT (v001 Dell Khan 0x00000000 MSFT 0x01000004) @ 0x00000000 ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x8008 Built 1 zonelists Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda6 ro acpi=force Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- reenabling.
