In particular, it seems that any APM event (suspend, etc.) causes a hard freeze. In fact, on 2.4.9 and lower, I can even use the function-setup key which lets me examine/change bios while the kernel is running. On 2.4.10, this causes a kernel freeze. My .config files are essentially identical for 2.4.9 and for 2.4.10. On thing I noticed that seems a little suspicious is this start up message: Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- reenabling. Found and enabled local APIC! For 2.4.9, I get: mapped APIC to ffffe000 (01442000) Both kernels print: apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.14) ... ACPI: APM is already active, exiting
