Hi to Everyone,

The laptops interrupts (is this the right word ?) - which had worked
perfectly well for many years on my ThinkPad 600 under RedHat 7.2 - do
not operate under Debian Etch. Nothing shuts down or goes to sleep when
I close the lid, neither the video nor the hard disk (I can hear its
noise) ; I am not sure whether the fan works or not ; nothing goes to
sleep after a while even when the system is powered on battery... if I
press Fn+F4 on the keyboard (sleep icon), the system indeed goes to
sleep, but then there is no way I can awaken it ... and a CTRL-ALT-DEL
does nothing, same if pressing the OFF switch... the only way to get out
of this is to unplug AC power AND remove battery for a few seconds, then
put it back and start again. I now have to shutdown this laptop
everyday, even several times a day, while, when it ran under RedHat 7.2,
I practically never shut it down, just closed the lid.


If someone wishes to see the /var/log/messages generated by my laptop
system during last boot, this is being displayed at the following address.

Thanks in advance for any shared experience or advice so as to get that
old laptop operate as it should.


Bernard
