Hello,

I just installed Fedora Core 1 on my IBM ThinkPad R40e
laptop, which generally works well. Some problems that
still occur:

1. I still cannot make my laptop to standby and
hibernate mode (perhaps this is related to ACPI). Once
I tried to execute:

modprobe ac, I got the following reply:

/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/acpi/ac.o:
init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module
parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the
output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/acpi/ac.o:
insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/acpi/ac.o
failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/acpi/ac.o:
insmod ac failed

A similar reply I also got when I tried to execute
modprobe battery.

2. If I tried to logout/restart/shutdown by using
menu, sometimes I have to wait quite long time, but
this seldom happened if I use command line, for
example "shutdown -r now" to restart my laptop.
why is it so?

3. After shutting down everything, the machine would
not power off by itself, instead we have to switch off
by using the power button. Why is it so? and how to
make it poweroff by itself (without manually switching
off using the power button).

Are there anyone who had experience similar problems?
I appreciate any answers and comments ...

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Ari
