2.4.3 - Problems with poweroff
I have trouble with the APM in kernel 2.4.3.
I'm booting Win98SE and run loadlin 1.6a to booting the linux kenel 2.4.3. Everything goes ok, but my machine will not turn off if I use the command poweroff.
If I booting MS-DOS 6.22 from disk at the same machine, then running the same loadlin and loading the same kernel, then the poweroff command will turn off my computer.
I'm not sure if this is a kernel specific problem, but I don't know where to ask to help me.
I don't understand, whats the difference to load the kernel from Win98SE or from MS-Dos 6.22.
Maybe someone can help me.
Thanks
Frank

Win98SE will have deleted the ACPI tables that can be removed

In this case MSDOS wont have trashed critical tables. In general 'A lot less than people think' ;)
