Still no joy.

Cold boot, non-VM86 kernel:

Oct  2 17:36:56 taurus1 /kernel.noVM86: npx0 on motherboard
Oct  2 17:36:56 taurus1 /kernel.noVM86: npx0: INT 16 interface
Oct  2 17:36:56 taurus1 /kernel.noVM86: apm0 not found

Cold boot, VM86 kernel:

Oct  2 18:01:03 taurus1 /kernel: npx0 on motherboard
Oct  2 18:01:03 taurus1 /kernel: npx0: INT 16 interface
Oct  2 18:01:03 taurus1 /kernel: apm: BIOS probe failed: error 0x1  carry 1  ax
0x8600 bx 0x0
Oct  2 18:01:03 taurus1 /kernel: apm0 not found

Well, let's just forget about this mystery for now.  Unless someone
positively confirms that the APM probe may be somewhat broken, we
shall assume that I dreamed up all this 8)
