Hi,

  I compiled 2.4.20 with all ACPI questions answered yes, powermgmt yes and
apm no.

  When booting all looks nice until the very ned. Network seems to be up, at
least the boot process is past dhcp, but I haven't seen any x-stuff yet and
then the console blanks and nothing happens anymore. It does not respond to
CTRL+ALT+BS and CTRL+ALT+F1 and CTRL+F7.

  When compiling with apm and acpi all off, the machine works fine.

Check for ACPI messages in syslog. Check for error messages in dmesg as well.


  When compiling with acpi off and apm on, the machine works fine and does
even suspend when closing the lid. So a) Any idea, why acpi does blank my
screen and b) what are the reasons to switch to acpi? Afaik suspend wouldn't work
with acpi, would it?

When you mean suspend, I assume you mean suspend to disk, also called hibernate? That works fine with swsusp and the scripts that follows. My only problems with the scripts was that I needed to rewrite some parts to resolve som annoying issues with them.
