Yup... ahaning@desktop:~$ uname -a Linux desktop 2.4.20-pre7 #1 SMP Sat Sep 21 12:15:41 /etc/localtime 2002 i686 unknown No, it's not an SMP board, I just forgot to deselect that when preparing the kernel config. > - DOES IT ASSIGN INTERRUPTS PROPERLY? Sound, X, TV, usb mouse, DRI, etc all seem to work fine, so I'll assume that the IRQs are okay. How can I tell if they are not? Maybe by comparing against a stable kernel? I've also tried putting the machine into some of the ACPI sleep modes with less-than-impressive results (though, I guess, nothing that I shouldn't expect): Sleep Mode.....Result ----------.....------ 0..............Nothing. Machine continued to work at full power. 1..............Machine seemed "locked" at full power until power was depressed momentarily. The machine then continued to work. 2..............Nothing. Machine continued to work at full power. This is not listed as a supported mode, though. 3..............Nothing. Machine continued to work at full power. 4..............Nothing. Machine continued to work at full power. 5..............Machine shut off abruptly and fsck ran at next boot. To do these tests, I did: echo "#" > /proc/acpi/sleep where # is 0-5. Perhaps this was wrong. I've had little luck finding tools to control ACPI on linux whereas I've found several (pmutils and apm) for APM. I should mention that Windows2000 is able to suspend this machine (the only difference being the hard drive.. other than that, all cards and cords are in the same place) very well. HDD turns off, video goes to "off", optical USB mouse goes off, and all fans (CPU, case, PSU) turn off. I can wake it up by pressing the power button momentarily. It can also do "hibernation" quite well. I've had limited luck with the swsusp option. I cannot do a "swsusp" from X, as X comes back garbled, so it's usefulness is limited. So, I'm sure that this should work on linux, and that there are no strange hardware issues.
