Hello! I'm havind some problem with apm suspending and halt. 1.) apm suspend problem The problem is that apm goes into suspend when I work on the machine remotly with ssh. (At least it appears randomly to me some minutes after reboot or minutes to hours later. So there is no correlating time like 5 minutes or so after inactivity.) But it is unusable in a server environment. Network goes down and ssh connection is lost, no monitor signal available. The Power Led blinks afterwards. After pressing a key system is up again.

Jan 10 09:38:25 xxx kernel: ehci_hcd 00:10.4: resume As you can see time is also set wrong (I found that there is a compile time option of the kernel, but since I use local time in the BIOS it is set wrong and confuses ntpd). 2.) halt problem When shutting down the system with Ctrl alt del the same happens: ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -h now ------------- Halting System Shuttting down ide devices: hda hdd System halted ------------- (Harddisk is shut down but Processor is still running and it shuts not down completly) After pressing a key it suspends to state 3 (Power LED blinks). ehci_hcd 00:10.4: suspend to state 3 After pressing a key again it starts again System: Linux xxxx 2.4.22-1.2140.nptl #1 Tue Jan 6 20:20:25 EST 2004 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Motherboard: Epox 8KRA2+ Processor: Athlon XP Barton 2600+ ACPI is enabled in the BIOS and power saving settings are BIOS default. Occoured with all fedora kernels, even with Redhat 9.0 on a same equipped second machine. Any ideas? BTW: As far as I saw Nothbridge disconnecting is enabled by default, but STPGNT not (both were enabled in previous kernel versions). Has something changed here? athcool stat athcool version 0.3.2 enabling/disabling Athlon Powersaving mode VIA KT400[A] (1106 3189) found 'bus Disconnect when STPGNT detected' bit is disabled. 'VLink Auto-disconnect' bit is enabled. Thank you for the answer. Ciao, Gerhard
