apm

[Glyn Millington <glyn@mill29.fsnet.co.uk>]

Good morning.  In a fit of folly last night I recompiled my 2.2.17 potato
kernel. Great - a lean mean kernel that boots up like lightning, but no apm
:-(

By no apm I mean that the machine will not power-off at the end of a
"shutdown -h now"  I've never persuaded it to do more than that! But that
much I have hitherto managed.

Apm IS enabled in the kernel. and my /etc/lilo.conf contains the magic line 

append="apm=on"

Last time this happened I had to re-install (the OS!) and then it worked
fine.  But I have seen the error of my ways and realise now that this is not
"the Debian way".  

Help!
