I can't seem to get my A&T 486 to boot-up. If I disable APM from the above kernels my computer resets and re-boots automatically immediately following the kernel message "Ok booting the kernel" 

With APM enabled in the kernel config the system boots and gets to the kernel message.

eth0: NE2000 found at 0x280, using IRQ 9.

and then hangs.

Probing with magic-sysreq-P led me to APM-Code.

After turning on APM_DEBUG in arch/i386/kernel/apm.c I now get the continuous message 
"apm: received normal resume notify"

How can I get around this. I've tried different APM-BIOS settings and different kernel configurations to no avail. I really don't understand what is really going on here to be able to fix it.
