thanks to THIMO for the .config, one of the apm settings has enabled me to avoid freeze on power state changes.
sadly however i now can't play sound [xmms, snd, pd, play] without a total* freeze of my system, forcing me to power down and hang-out with fsck for 10 minutes! i've never had this before, sound hasn't been a problem since 2.4.18 on the maestro3i. when i go back to my old .config without apm support at all [also no CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC of course] this problem remains. i haven't done changed anything else [that i can remember] i am not using ALSA or ACPI btw. i'd love some help soon as i have music to make.. thanks list, de|ire -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
