Hi there,

            Upon checking the mailing lists..it seems to has to do with =
some APM management with some amd mobos. I might be wrong. But so far i =
haven't got that error on my amd chip yet. Can anyone verify exactly =
where this error would come from? I have a friend using intel on a =
notebook and he is having the same problem. So could it be AMD? or just =
certain motherboards/hardisks

Regards,
James Lim
