hi all,
i have this dell latitude C610, which runs perfectly fine with
debian's stock kernel 2.2.20. however, i need some features from 2.4.x
and thus went ahead to install kernel-image-2.4.17-686, which also
boots just fine, but which freezes the computer everytime anything
APM is done.
this is the module list of the stock kernel after boot:
i8k 4576 1 (autoclean)
af_packet 11496 1 (autoclean)
3c59x 24936 1 (autoclean)
i810_audio 18016 0 (autoclean)
ac97_codec 9376 0 (autoclean) [i810_audio]
soundcore 3556 2 (autoclean) [i810_audio]
rtc 5368 0 (autoclean)
unix 13700 18 (autoclean)
ide-disk 6592 8 (autoclean)
ide-probe-mod 7968 0 (autoclean)
ide-mod 129452 8 (autoclean) [ide-disk ide-probe-mod]
ext3 56480 7 (autoclean)
jbd 34840 7 (autoclean) [ext3]
which looks just fine. there is no apm support in the kernel, acpi is
also off. whenever i shut the lid, try to suspend to ram or disk,
enter dell's bios setup (Fn-F1), or let it sit long enough for the
screen to blank, the system will freeze entirely. this seems to be
a 2.4.x feature, 2.2.x worked fine. could someone maybe just tell me
how i can make this work properly?
please reply privately since i can't currently access my list mail.
