Re: [PLUG] BIOS EDD -- new install hangs
|
Here's the current settings for Power management in the BIOS:
ACPI function Disabled
Power Management User Define
PM control by APM No
Video Off Method Blank Screen
Video Off After NA
Modem Use IRQ 3
Doze Mode Disabled
Standby Mode Disabled
Susend Mode Disabled
HDD Pwer Down Disabled
Suspend Mode Option PowerOn Suspend
Throttle Duty Cycle 75%
PCI/VGA Act. Monitor Disabled
Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN Instant-Off
IRQ 8 Break Suspend Disabled
Power On by Ring Disabled
Power On by LAN Disabled
Resume by Alarm Disabled
** Reload Global Timer Events **
IRQ3-7,9-15],NMI Disabled
Primary IDE 0 Disabled
Primary IDE 1 Disabled
Secondary IDE 0 Disabled
Secondary IDE 1 Disabled
Floppy Disk Disabled
Serial Port Disabled
Parallel Port Disabled
I disabled everything that could be disabled, and guessed at the rest of
the settings. Any suggestions?
I couldn't figure out how to control power management in Ubuntu. It's
still running with acpi=off. When I have my little CPU-hog running,
the screen will blank after a couple minutes of no input, but it
comes back as soon as I wiggle the mouse. I can't find any GUI controls
for power management and I haven't learned how to do it from the
command line.
Thanks for everybody's help. Let me know if there are more things I can
try!

There was a movie made in 1947, commissioned by the military. It was
made by the famous director John Houston, and it was titled "Let There
Be Light." What the military asked him to do was to go into the VA
hospitals in 1947 with his cameras. He did such a good job of
capturing the kind of inner turmoil and horror that these men were
going through - the survivor guilt, the suicidal thoughts, the
flashbacks, the nightmares, the depression, the anxiety, the fear -
that the military suppressed the film until 1982.
