Many "green" 2058e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver 2059e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase. 2060e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2061e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't 2062e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get 2063e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to 2064e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling 2065e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg APM in your BIOS). 2066e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2067e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random, 2068e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg "weird" problems: 2069e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2070e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is 2071e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg enabled. 2072e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel 2073e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass 2074e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg the "no387" option to the kernel 2075e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel 2076e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling 2077e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg all but the first 4 MB of RAM) 2078e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked. 2079e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/> 2080e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings 2081e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM 2082e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 10) install a better fan for the CPU 2083e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 11) exchange RAM chips 2084e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 12) exchange the motherboard. 2085e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2086e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the 2087e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg module will be called apm. 2088e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2089e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgif APM 2090e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg 2091e279b6c1SSam Ravnborgconfig APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND 2092e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg bool "Ignore USER SUSPEND" 20938f9ca475SIngo Molnar ---help--- 2094e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests.

This 2107e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features 2108e279b6c1SSam Ravnborg will be dependent on your BIOS implementation.
