Or do I have to rebuild the kernel? As far as I know, power management by ACPI is the default. In order to shut down a system that does not have ACPI, but APM, ACPI needs to be disabled in most cases, as well as APM needs to be enabled manually. I don't know how "Paralells Workstation" handles this, but older PCs (with APM, but without ACPI) can be shut down this way. (I hope I did understand your question as intended.) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
