need help on using acpi for power management

[James D. Freels]

Hello All !

I have been fortunate enough for my employer to have acquired me a new machine
on which I naturally am running Debian/Sid. All goes quite well, but I do
not have the acpi features of the motherboard working.

The motherboard is an Intel SE7500CW2 housing dual Xeon 2.4Ghz processors.
Yes, it is a fine machine indeed.

I have the kernel 2.4.20 compiled with ACPI. According to the motherboard
docs, acpi is always present. However, the bios has very little option with
respect to power (there is a power button enable/disabled switch).

I want Linux to be able to:

1) on complete shutdown, power down the machine
2) enable standby or shutdown mode of various components (monitor, drives,
etc.)
3) generally experiment with ACPI

Where can I go to get help on this ?

Never mind here. I discovered my newly compiled kernel was not getting liloed
correctly. All is well now!
