>When I first started the switch from APM to ACPI I didn't realize the
|
|
kernel needed to be patched. My problem (insanely loud fan) was fixed just
|
|
by upgrading to 2.4.20 (Debian packaged kernel with an earlier patch from
|
|
<A
|
|
HREF="http://acpi.sourceforge.net"

|

|
|
>acpi.sourceforge.net</A
|
|
>).

|

> my computer without using the power switch to power-down my
|
|
computer. It wasn't until later that
|
|
I realized I had an old, ineffectual ACPI patch. This HOWTO was
|
|
written to summarize the install process for myself, and hopefully help others who
|
|
are also having a hard time finding information about ACPI. Please note:
