I am having a really weird problem with FC2, and I'm hoping someone here can help me think of other ways to troubleshoot this problem. I've got a Toshiba Satellite 1135-S1552 that I've been using under Fedora Core 1 since it's release date without a problem. Recently I backed up my FC1 installation and did a clean install of FC2. Things work great, except for one pretty major irritation: Under FC2, my laptop will suddenly power itself off, but only when running on battery power. I am unable to figure out exactly where the problem lies. So far, I've tried: * recompiling the kernel (source from kernel.org) * reinstalling from different CDs (mediacheck clears) * using a different window manager (gnome, KDE, enlightenment) * booting to Knoppix and testing there I've checked /var/log/acpid, /var/log/messages, and /var/log/boot.log for any possible clues, but I saw NOTHING that indicated what was causing the machine to power off. Initially, I thought that something must have changed in ACPI in kernel 2.6, but Knoppix 3.4 (booted to the 2.6 kernel) works fine. The laptop also has an XP Pro partition and a FC1 partition, and the problem doesn't exhibit itself on either of these operating systems, which seems to rule out the possibility of a hardware issue. If any of you have ANY ideas as far as other things I can troubleshoot, I'd love to hear them. Thanks for your help. -- -------- Ben Brown xthor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.xthorsworld.com/
