You might as well have powerd_enable="NO" > What I think >is happening is that powered is too aggressive in downgrading the >clock speed, that it eventually sets the clock to a value that is so >low that the system stops responding. I have an HP nx6125 that will randomly hang if powerd is enabled and if you search back through the mailing lists, there are a few other people with similar problems. I've done some experimenting and in my case, it's the clock speed transitions that cause a hang. The actual clock speed is irrelevant. I believe it's a race condition or a timing bug. -- Peter Jeremy
