With some kernels before I was able to see a /proc/acpi directory with some information (most of them wrong, but ok) and I was able to shutdown the laptop properly. With kernel 2.4.22 the /proc/acpi directory does not exist (but I've compiled it) and modules ac.o, battery.o and so on give a 'init_module: No such device' answer. I need to make it turn off automatically again, at least. I know I can use my last kernel, but it is not quite a good idea, as I would like to continue updating my kernel. Thanks for any help (please cc me in reply, as I'm not a member of the list) Alberto Simões -- Alberto Manuel Brandão Simões Departamento de Informática - Universidade do Minho
