Question about 'Dealing with Windows's Advanced Power Management (APM)' Wednesday, October 22, 2003 at 9:06 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Francois L'Archeveque (2 messages posted) I have a comment about Dealing with Windows's Advanced Power Management (APM): I recently solved an APM problem with my Win98 system and it turns out the problem was not Windows' fault at all. The system used the boot loader GRUB v0.90 to select which operating system to boot. There was a known bug in GRUB v0.90 that left the APM bios in an inconsistent state rendering APM unusable in Windows. The "Stand by" option would be missing from the Shutdown menu and the "Advanced Power Management support" in the device manager would have an exclamation mark next to it indicating an error. Upgrading GRUB to v0.91 under RedHat 7.2 solved the problem in Windows. The bug as logged was known to affect Windows 2000 SP2 but could very well affect any Windows version since the APM bios was messed up before Windows even started booting. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54375 Responses to this message: re: Question about 'Dealing with Windows's Advanced Power Management (APM)' (Francois L'Archeveque: Friday, October 24, 2003 at 9:27 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] Question about 'Dealing with Windows's Advanced Power Management (APM)' (Francois L'Archeveque: Wed, Oct 22, 2003, 9:06 pm) re: Question about 'Dealing with Windows's Advanced Power Management (APM)' (Francois L'Archeveque: Fri, Oct 24, 2003, 9:27 pm) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows 98 Discussion Forum
