Hey thanks alot, I'll give it a try. Before I do, a few questions: can you give me the exact line of your kernel config file for device apm0 (which flags enabled or disabled)? Or do you not use device apm0 in kernel config? Is apm enabled or disabled in the bios? What is your kern.timecounter.method? Which bios revision (I only have access to 1.005 and 1.008)? Thanks again. --Matt _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
