There are some motherboards that has buggy BIOS'. Meaning that the kernel might crash with APM enabled. I have seen this with the Aopen AXPRO and a lot of different labtops. If you want APM you will have to make your own kernel but do remember not to make the APM-enabled kernel your default kernel... Good luck -- Sven Esbjerg http://www.dina.dk/~joker
