Thanks for the input, but my system never had such a partition,
and suspend, etc, work fine under the Windows ME that came installed
on it. AFAIK, Dell does not support Linux on this model.
Not deleting it may be prudent, though, you are right.
When I say the BIOS is broken, I mean anything involving APM --
even reading battery status -- causes a kernel OOPS, which when
traced, fails when calling the system BIOS. Apparently things have
been this way with every BIOS version greater than A06 -- which isn't
available anywhere I could find.
