dear listers,
I am using Mandrake 9.2 on a Dell Optiplex GX300. I need the computer to run for at least 4 days (heavy calculations with GRASS GIS), unfortunately, it goes into sleep mode after a couple of hours. I meandered within the configuration tools of mandrake 9.2, but did not find anything (same outcome with ACPI on or off ; APIC disabled or enabled). I checked the BIOS but do not find any mention of an option that could disable automatic sleep mode. I have another Dell (different model) with the same Mandrake distro installed, that does not go into sleep mode.
any help would be greatly appreciated !!! (I really have to get results pretty soon, this is for my thesis)
thanks a lot for your time, eric pante
