On booting the new system, apm no longer works. Now, acpi never work on this hardware anyway, but apm always worked fine. On the 6.1-STABLE kernel, it doesn't probe or load properly at boot time. For reasons I no longer recall, "device apm" is configured in this kernel, rather than loading it as a module, and this has been fine for years, in fact, since back in the 5.x days and for several 6.0 kernels as well as 6.1-RC1. Here's the pertinent boot info: FreeBSD 6.1-RC1 (2006/03/23): real memory = 134152192 (127 MB) avail memory = 121733120 (116 MB) ACPI disabled by blacklist. Contact your BIOS vendor. npx0: [FAST] npx0: on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface cpu0 on motherboard apm0: on motherboard apm0: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2 pcib0: pcibus 0 on motherboard pir0: on motherboard FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE (2006/05/09): real memory = 134152192 (127 MB) avail memory = 121733120 (116 MB) ACPI disabled by blacklist. Contact your BIOS vendor. cpu0 on motherboard apm: Other PM system enabled. pcib0: pcibus 0 on motherboard pir0: on motherboard On 6.1-STABLE, the /dev/apm device is not created and so none of the apm tools work. I don't see any changes to any of the apm code (in the last year or so, actually), so this is presumably due to a change at a lower level? Any thoughts? -jr
