Pentium III laptop _instant_ shutdown during custom kernel compile!
Box: Dell Latitude L400 laptop
Dist: 'Testing' (up-to-date)
Package: kernel-source-2.6.8 (inc. Debian patches)
GCC: 2.95
Configured .config using 'make menuconfig' and changed a number of things,
amnong them 'processor type' which I set to Pentium III(Coppermine).
(According to 'lshw' this is correct).
I then ran 'make-kpkg' and midway through the compilation process,
*bang*!! The lights went out! A sudden total shutdown, as if the plug had
just been pulled. Thankfully, there doesn't appear to have been any harm
done, but surely this is not supposed to happen :-/
One of things I was trying to get working was acpi power management. Could
this have something to do with it?
I always expect errors but this...? I don't understand how this can
happen?
Anyone any ideas, before I have another go?
Incidentally, does anyone knows which modules are required for power
management on this type of box? ('swsusp' is one that I know of).
