I want to be able to use `shutdown -p now` to turn my machine off. However, it does not work. At first, I had no apm device in the kernel, so I added (from GENERIC): device apm0 at nexus? disable flags 0x20 This still did not work, so I tried each of the following, one at a time: device apm0 device apm0 at nexus? device apm0 at nexus? flags 0x20 In all three cases, the kernel locks up right after it loads the md driver, which I gather means it is trying to load the apm driver. Once I tried this with debugging symbols, and ddb, and anything else I could think of, but nothing works. It just freezes completely. I have a Dell Dimension L733r with a Phoenix (I believe) BIOS, revision A07. The system includes the i810 chipset. Has anybody gotten APM to work on a similar machine? What good does the disable flag do? It seems to just disable apm, which is pointless, because I can just as easily remove the device line. Finally, is there any other way to get `shutdown -p` working like I want it to? -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
