Eric, I do have the apm option in the kernel exactly as you have listed below, and I also added both of your apm entries to my rc.conf, but the problem still occurs. Thanks, Kenan -----Original Message----- From: Eric Hedstr=F6m [mailto:erich@ucsd.edu]=20 Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 10:05 AM To: Chris Shenton Cc: Kenan; mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Thinkpad 600 Power Management Issues (HD turned on and off) Do you all have apm enabled in your kernels and rc.conf files? My 560X=20 does not do this, running 4.5-release or -stable from last weekend. I=20 have apm enabled in the kernel (removed the word "disable"): device apm0 at nexus? flags 0x20 in dmesg it shows up thus: apm0: <APM BIOS> on motherboard apm: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2 and in rc.conf: apm_enable=3D"YES" apmd_enable=3D"YES" The reason I ask is that in my old Thinkpad, a 701C, the hard drive=20 would just shut down when I closed the lid (making the system quite=20 unhappy, getting the filesystem yanked out from under it), until I=20 enabled apm. It's running 4.5-release. The 701C reports its apm as v1.1. hope this helps, Eric Chris Shenton wrote: > "Kenan" <info@djkenan.com> writes: >=20 >=20 >>I have recently installed 4.5-stable on a Thinkpad 600X (BIOS version >>ITET53WW), and the hard drive sounds like it is being turned on and off >>every few seconds.
