Funnily enough, commenting it out in the kernel config certainly removes APM support from the kernel... thus _disabling_ that particular feature. BCA> What we want is NOT PRESENT in any shape or form. Again, merely commenting it out of the config is sufficient, though completely removing it from the config serves the same purpose. There is no functional difference between commenting-out a feature and removing the entry aside from leaving a reminder that the feature in question was disabled; which is a good idea to do, since someone may forget that he'd disabled/removed a feature for a reason if there's no visual reminder in the config. I won't argue semantics any further though since that's just silly. All I know is that when I switched to FreeBSD last year, I ran into this problem (and lost a hard drive due to the innumerable spontaneous reboots in the process), and the only way to fix it was to disable APM in the BIOS and kernel. -- Christopher Rosado To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
