This may not necessarily work for you, but I had a similar problem, and got it solved by making the following change to my kernel configuration file. Look for this: # Power management support (see LINT for more options) device apm0 at nexus? disable flags 0x20 # Advanced Power Management And change it to: device apm0 at nexus? And recompile. That did the rick for me. :) - Mark
