Hi,

I have a IBM Aptiva P120 with FreeBSD 4.5 release on it
(http://workhorse.directivex.com).

Starting it up from a power down it boots up fine.  However, on a reboot it
will pretend to reboot and blank screen and then show bios info, and then
hang with a solid cursor.  It's a very frustrating problem of course.

I have had Linux on that box before and it did not have this problem.  A
Linux user once suggested it way the advance power management support or
rather poor support in FreeBSD. Just to try, I commented out:

#device apm0 at nexus? disable flags 0x20 # AdvPwrMngnt

...then recompiled the kernel and it didn't help. I have disabled advance
power management in the bios and re-enabled it in all variations I can think
of with and without that above in the kernel.

Does anyone know how I can fix this with at least a work around?

Thanks!

Rachel
