Yeah I got the apm daemon, it's the debian/unstable version though, maybe
I should get the latest sources?

What's your configuration?
When I type apm -s, one of two things happens:
- The command pauses briefly, then decides to ignore me and returns to
the command prompt.
- The system does indeed seem to stop. But the machine doesn't sound any
quieter. The fan is still going and the hd's probably also.

How did you try to do it? I've got /usr/sbin/hdparm -S 60 /dev/hda
in /etc/rc.boot/ and the machine hasn't hung yet; then again I haven't really
noticed the HD stopping either. Is there a test program which will
stop the HD right away?
In other news, my machine was hanging like crazy yesterday morning,
but maybe this is because I was trying out the 2.4-test7 kernel and acpi.
