[This message has also been posted to linux.debian.user.] I've installed etch with default kernel on a laptop with APM BIOS but no ACPI. It runs a lot hotter than it did with my customized kernel on sarge. I added "apm=on" to the boot options to get apm -s to work. Still got heat and battery life issues that sarge didn't have. Are there more boot options to enable the slower clock and halt between interrupts kernel features? Should I be using some other kernel?
If I had that problem I would use this kernel: http://kernel.kolivas.org/ and ask that question on its mailing list. H
