Subject:   kernel/apm panic(general protection fault) on 4-stable+dell
Message-ID:  <20010206002211.A301@moo.holy.cow>

i am running freebsd 4-stable (made from sources from jan 28) on 
dell inspiron 5000e (bought jan 11 2001), w/ intel pentium iii 700 
(speed step tech).  timecounter.hardware is identified as i8254.

prospects of running/enabling apm seem dim on this system. when  
apm and apmd are enabled in /etc/rc.conf and kernel has...


device          apm0    at nexus? flags 0x0020 
#device          apm0    at nexus? #flags 0x0020 
#device          apm0    at nexus? disable flags 0x0020 


...below is the panic message that comes up (taken old fashioned 
way, on paper by pen) on (re)booting...


kernel trap 9 with interrupts disbaled
fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode

instruction pointer  =  0x58:0x3319
stack pointer        =  0x10:0xcaa68c88
frame pointer        =  0x10:0xcaa68c90
code segment         =  base 0xc00f0000, limit 0xffff, type 0x1b
                     =  DPL 0, pres 1, def32 0, gran 0
processor eflags     =  resume, IOPL = 0
current process      = 146 (apm)
interrupt mask       = none
trap number          = 9

panic: general protection fault


...i tried w/ and w/o...


kern.timecounter.method=1


...of course, there is no problem if apm is not enabled 
in rc.conf regardless of it being enabled in kernel config.

oh, i also tried changing 'power' settings in bios to no 
positive effect.

is 'apm' achieveable?
