Compiling 2.4.20 for Woody

[Christof Hurschler <hurschler@gmx.de>]

Hello, I've got a small problem when compiling the 2.4.20 kernel for my
woody machine.

I've learned how to use make-kpkg which is quite nice, I've also learned how
to deal with the .config files, but here is my problem.  When I compile the
kernel everything works fine, including the modules, except that the
Power-Down function doesn't shut the computer off, it just sits there although it
isn't locked up and I can still switch between consoles.  When I use a
prepackaged kernel APM works fine (for example with 2.4.18 deb or with the 2.4.20-k6
Bunk deb) and the computer shuts down normally (I have apmd installed).

Im using the original source for 2.4.20, i.e. not a deb package.  Is there
anything Debian specific that I may be missing for the kernel to work with
apmd?  BTW this isn't machine specific, it happens when I try to compile the
kernel for my laptop too.

Thanks for any hints,

Chris
