Pretty sure I did all of this correctly.
Mr Brooks gave me a useful pointer: remove disable
from the apm config line. I guess I should actually
READ what I'm doing... :-)
Here's what I've got:
cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
/usr/sbin/config -g TESTKERNEL
cd ../../compile/TESTKERNEL
make depend
make all
Then, I FTP'ed the kernel over to the test machine and
did the install line, by hand:
Pilfered from the kernel Makefile:
bash-2.03# cat kinst
#!/bin/sh
chflags noschg /kernel
mv /kernel /kernel.old
PATH=${PATH}:/sbin:/usr/sbin
if [ `sysctl -n kern.bootfile` = ${DESTDIR}/kernel ] ;
then
sysctl -w kern.bootfile=${DESTDIR}/kernel.old ;
if [ -f /var/db/kvm_kernel.db ] ; then
mv -f /var/db/kvm_kernel.db
/var/db/kvm_kernel.old.db
fi
fi
install -c -m 555 -o root -g wheel -fschg kernel /

It's an Intel i810E motherboard which has APM support.
Apparently other people have had trouble with shutdown
-p not working in 3.x kernels. Unfortunately, I don't
have the option of going to -current, so I need to get
it going in 3.3-RELEASE.
What files are involved in APM and power control?
Would it be easy to produce a patch to merge in to
3.3-RELEASE?
Does anyone have shutdown -p / halt -p working in
3.3-RELEASE?
Reading the LINT kernel config file, it mentions VM86
being related to apm? Should I be turning this option
on (I'm going to try that as an experiment soon)?
Thanks.
