Hi Ive been looking around the net about the Dell laptops and APM. But I havent found the solution to my specific problem witch is. That modprobe apm hangs forever(*) with a 2.4.18-686 kernel. The list archive says something about some APCI options when building the kernel. But the funny thing is that "insmod apm" works just fine. Does anyone have some suggestions to a solution?
