LinuxQuestions.org - How do I enable APM in RedHat 7.3?

How do I do that? I need to do it so my system shuts down all the way.

Here is what I have done so far with no luck:

/usr/src/linux

make menuconfig

Then I put a "M" in the General settings of the menu, saved it and exited.

make dep && make clean && make modules && make modules install.

After doing all of that, the computer still won't shut off.

Yes, I also tried compiling a new kernel, but that went no where. I had to install RH 7.3 again to boot into Xwindows. I am not a kernel guru.

when I do lsmod, this is what I get:

I also did "modprobe apm" which said that apm module is not installed.

And no, halt -p and poweroff don't work either. They just get to the point where the last thing it says is "Power Off". And it just hangs there, I have to hit the power button to shut the computer down.
