Things I might try: 1. A bootable-CD Linux, say Kanoppix or Gnoppix or Morphix.
2. Compiling a kernel that has NO APM or ACPI support. If this doesn't lock up, it's strong circumstantial evidence that your current kernel is the problem. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you attempt to fix something that isn't broken, it will be. -Bruce Tognazzini -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
