[ltp] More Sound Problems on Thinkpad 770z with Linux mdk| Problem with APM (still a newbie)

[Analabha Roy]

Hi,


  Regarding the document in IBM's website that I was referred to to fix the sound
problem, it also gave instructions on configuring APM in thinkpads. Now, it said to
enable some options. They are:

 Enable 
Interrupt APM BIOS calls

 Enable
 APM BIOS support

 Enable
PM at boot

Enable
Make CPU calls when idle

Enable 
console blanking

Enable
Power off in shutdown

Enable
Ignore multiple suspend

Enable
Ignore multiple suspend/resume calls

 When I did 'make xconfig' to reconfigure my  2.4.21-0.13mdk kernel I found all but the
last 3 options in the "general settings" and didn't find the last 3 anywhere. Anyways I
set them to what the doc told me to and did 

make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
depmod -a
make install
reboot

 When I booted to my new kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdkcustom, all hell broke loose.


  My dvd rom drive was not detected. My usb CDRW was not detected. The fat32 partition I
share with windows was not detected (I saw 'error: vfat not supported' during bootup), my
Journalised ext3 partition where I keep /home was not detected. Only root partition was
detected. X-server did not start & internet connection was not detected or set up either.
 Beleiving that I messed up the compilation, I rebooted & tried to boot to my older
kernel thru the LILO boot menu. The kernel panicked & the bootup hung. So I reset and had
the old kernel image etc copied from my bootable distro cd (I did not make a boot floppy
as my Thinkpad 770z does not have a floppy drive nor any free interfaces to put one in)


 I checked in the services menu that apm is in the "enable services during boot up" list>
I do not know the shell commands that apm needs so I used a graphical front end (klaptop)
to access it after I booted my old kernel.

 In the "Power Control" widget, it said :

 "If you make /usr/bin/apm setuid then you will also be able to choose 'suspend' and
'standby' in the above dialog."

 I do not know how to do that.
 
 'man setuid'

 gave a manual page, but when I tried to execute as root I got

 'setuid not found'.

 Please guide me as to how do I enable suspend & standby in my laptop running on Linux
mdk 9.1??

Thanks,
AR
