ACPI with Enterprise Linux?

cackley · 12-09-2004, 09:38 PM

I have run RH Enterprise Linux on this HP laptop, but it constantly overheated. With Fedora, I could pass 'acpi=on' to the kernel to have it work fine. However, with RHEL, this doesn't seem to work. Is it disabled in the enterprise kernel? If so, how can I fix/change this so it will run on my laptop?

Try take a look and see if u have a dameon called apmd this is used to configure power management but i think this is a older version for what u are looking for therefore found this link see if this will help http://acpi.sourceforge.net/download.html. This explains that u have to place this in your kernel because buy default it does not come incorporated. If u have never updated a kernel make sure to backup all important data .
