These quoted lines here struck me as particularly interesting. I use a Dell Inspiron laptop with grub (not sure on version, probably 0.90) and linux (2.4.8). Sometimes when I close the cover (suspend-to-ram) then open it later I get lots of "hda: lost interrupt" messages and all I can do is hard-reset the machine. Could this be caused by the above mentioned interactions? I have the APM stuff in the kernel and I like it because the machine shuts off automatically when I tell it too. If this is indeed (or might be) the problem, how can I correct it? Do I simply need to remove the apm sutff from my kernel? -D _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
