This is a known problem. Juan had mentioned the possibility to recognize the device and automagically resolve it but for now here is the fix.
add "noacpi" to your append statement in lilo. To do this edit /etc/lilo.conf as root example from xterm: mcedit /etc/lilo.conf you will see an append= statement on each kernel option example: append="devfs=mount quiet" add noapic to this example: append="noapic devfs=mount quiet" do this for every listed kernel save (F2 in mcedit) and exit (F10 in mcedit) type the following within xterm as root: lilo and hit enter You should see a list of your kernel options. If there are no errors then you are safe to reboot and that should resolve all but suspend/resume problems. --- steve holditch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm using a Dell inspiron 8000 laptop and I'm having > power problems.
