Fixing that will probably > fix your issue. Are you using ACPI? (It appears you are not using apic.) Thank you for replying :-). I'm indeed not using APIC (ISTR it was designed for SMP, I don't know what benefit I could get from it considering my laptop is UP). I stopped using ACPI a few months ago as it prevented psm(4) from working (albeit it ACPI+SMP doesn't exhibit the problem) (see [1]). What do you advice me to do? Do you need me to do some testing, enabling ACPI or something like that? I'm at work currently, I will only be able to do this in a couple of hour.
