You need to redirect your attention > elsewhere... I've rebuilt the kernel with the apm line commented out and it boots just fine. That's why I'm thinking it's apm related. I'm willing to hear that it's not the apm code but if it's not then it's probably something that comes after it. I'm not really sure what to look for since it works fine w/o apm0 in the config file but ``breaks'' when I add it back in. I'd really like to do a clean upgrade to 3.2 but I'm concerned that I'll lose the APM functionality. It's nice to know when my battery is about to die on my laptop ;-) Colin E.
