IIRC last time it was apm-stuff... I don't think so. I thought it was APM stuff, but over Christmas, when it was working just fine, I know I had the WindowMaker APM widget loaded, so APM was in the kernel. I don't recall changing any BIOS settings except for SpeedStep, which I've toggled to and fro many times now with no effects. I am going to see if it happens without APM kernel support. unfortunately, ACPI is not an option with these incompetent dickheads at Dell not able to write a proper BIOS. excuse my french, please! > Another possibility could be a failed hotswap; where the kernel > attempts to talk to e.g. a cd-rom drive that is no longer there. nope. none of that. > > HELP! > > You gotta love [dh]ell by now... :-) anyone want to buy a C610? -- Please do not CC me when replying to lists that I read! .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, and user `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system NOTE: The pgp.net keyservers and their mirrors are broken!
