I recently upgraded my ThinkPad 600 to RedHat Linux 7.2, which installs
grub 0.90 as the bootloader in place of LILO.  After that, the APM driver
always failed to load when I booted into the existing Windows 98
partition.  When I reverted either to LILO or to the standard Windows
bootloader, APM worked again.

Since Windows APM doesn't give any error message aside from a red
exclamation point next to the device name, I don't know exactly what the
problem is.  I know others have had problems with grub and Windows on
other ThinkPad models.  I can only guess that it has something to do with
the way the APM driver attempts to locate the hibernation file in the
FAT32 partition.

Any idea what could be causing the Windows 98 APM driver to get confused
with grub but not with LILO?
