Same problems with my 600E, I thought it was me going crazy ... it's running -current as of yesterday ... And apm is really broken on this one, it suspends fine, but when it's about to wake up, it hangs hard, a power off (no AC adaptor and remove battery) is the only solution. It used to work ok until about a month or so ago ... > It all went away when I flashed my > BIOS to the latest version available on IBM's support website.
