Hi

I sent a message yesterday regarding the same problem, but I don't think I
explained it very well (c'mon, it was late!)

Anyway, I've installed Red Hat 8.0 (clean install, on second hard disk,
first disk has WinXP)

I mostly selected the defaults during setup, including the default settings
for the bootloader configuration (which I believe to be GRUB, MBR, HDA)

When I rebooted after setup, the menu appeared, I hit enter to boot into
RH8, a whole bunch of text scrolled past and then stopped on the line

"apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x0b (Driver version 1.16)"

The exact same thing happened when I first installed RH 7.3 too.

The same thing also happens when I (try to) use the bootdisk created during
install.

Yet if I use Lilo, everything works fine!

Also, if I boot from the bootdisk, and type "linux apm=off" at the "Boot:"
prompt, it boots up!

Can anyone explain what's happening here, do different bootloaders configure
stuff like apm differently?  I just though they where used to select images
to load into memory etc...

Thanks for any help you can give.

Rob.
