Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686
Version: 2.6.15-8
Severity: normal


I installed Debian "testing" on a HP OmniBook 4150. It works great if the
notebook is attached to a power supply.

If the notebook is booted when running on batteries the system is almost
unuseable. The init process seems to hang right from the start but when you
press some keys on the keyboard the system seems to "wake up" for some seconds
and the init process continues bit by bit...

I tried to use acpi instead of apm (added the kernel boot option
"acpi=off apm=on" and added apm to /etc/modules) but this was even worse:
The system bootet without hammering on the keyboard but the timing was
completely broken. The cursor frequency changed wildly depending on system
load and the clock was running like crazy (ca. double speed) when opening 
large applications.

I remeber that I had some other Linux version installed on this notebook some
years ago and it did not have this problem (but others). I wanted to give it a
second chance because rumors said that Linux runs better on older hardware.
This does not always seem to be true :-(

irc and according to info on the net those boxes needed an bios upgrade
thus closing. according to gentoo wiki apm works.
so it might well be non functioning hardware.

good luck
