Hi,
I have installed Fedora Core 1 on my laptop but the ACPI is not working. I
have edited the grub.conf to pass acpi=on as a boot option. However, there is
no /proc/acpi directory. The documentation does not say I need to do anything
else. Does anyone have any ideas what I need to do?
When I look in /proc I notice I still have /proc/apm. Do I need to disable apm
somehow. I've stopped apmd from running but that didn't help.
I know the laptop has ACPI because it is new and I had a custom kernel
compiled when I used RedHat 9 and managed to get it working. I could go
through all that hassle again with Fedora but I was under the impression this
isn't needed as ACPI is supported in Fedora.
Thanks in advance
Nicholas Allen
