As far as APM is concerned this is not fixable in the kernel as the BIOS appears to have a bug. Please see if your vendor has an updated BIOS. The ACPI guys may be able to tell you how to work around this, but maybe not. Again it is a bug in the BIOS. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/
