append = " apm=on"
indeed seems to work, at least at a boot prompt trial [I don't tire
the disks by testing more than once a day]
Anyways, why then do I still see
Jun 14 09:10:51 debian kernel: apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x07 (Driver version 1.13)
Jun 14 09:10:51 debian kernel: apm: disabled on user request.
in the logs. Where is it getting turned off? Why isn't me turning it
back on mentioned?
By the way, of the other experiments:
insmod: apm: no module by that name found
I sure don't understand linux modules. It cannot be found, but one
can turn it on at the boot prompt.
So I even did installed powermgmt-base, because I think there were
some "apm" words in there... zanier and zanier... coocoo
By the way, to read Chinese file names from vfat disks, on mandrake
one can see lsmod:
nls_cp950 98064 2 (autoclean)
nls_cp437 3952 2 (autoclean)
whereas on debian I search low and high for anything with "950" in its
name... no go. Is this another item for lilo append? Only then can I
use them as fstab options?
