Reboot and test</H1 ><P >At this point you should reboot your machine. When your system comes back up (assuming of course that everything went well and you still have a system), check to see what kernel you're running with <B CLASS="command" >uname <TT CLASS="option" >-a</TT ></B >. It should show you the one you just built. You also need to make sure the correct patch was installed. You can do that with <TT CLASS="userinput" ><B > <B CLASS="command" >dmesg</B > | <B CLASS="command" >grep <TT CLASS="parameter" ><I >ACPI.*Subsystem\ revision</I ></TT ></B > </B ></TT >. It should give the output: <TT CLASS="computeroutput" >ACPI: Subsystem revision 20021212</TT >. The revision is the date the patch was released. This number will be different than mine if you are not using the 2.4.20 kernel. To look at all ACPI-related bits that were loaded/started when your system rebooted, do this: <TT CLASS="userinput" ><B ><B CLASS="command" >dmesg</B > | <B CLASS="command" >grep <TT CLASS="parameter" ><I >ACPI</I ></TT ></B > </B ></TT >. <B CLASS="command" >dmesg</B > prints your boot messages and <B CLASS="command" >grep <TT CLASS="parameter" ><I >ACPI</I ></TT ></B > makes sure that only ACPI-related messages are printed.</P ><P >You can also check to see what version you're using with <B CLASS="command" >cat <TT CLASS="filename" >/proc/acpi/info</TT ></B >. Don't believe everything you read though. My output says that S3 is a supported state, but we already know it's not. It does give the correct version though, which is useful.</P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="NAVFOOTER" ><HR ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="100%"><TABLE SUMMARY="Footer navigation table" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="kernelinstall.html" ACCESSKEY="P" >Prev</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="index.html" ACCESSKEY="H" >Home</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="loadmodules.html" ACCESSKEY="N" >Next</A ></TD ></TR ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" >Install the new kernel</TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" > </TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" >Load related modules</TD ></TR ></TABLE ></DIV ></BODY ></HTML >
