In 4.2-RELEASE and 5.0-CURRENT, the file sys/i386/i386/locore.s does _not_ contain any reference to apm_cpu_idle(). In fact, a grep search on all kernel source files does not find any reference to this function. Whether this is important or not, I dont't know. Probably it is not. -- JMA ****** Jose M.
