I would turn off APM support in your BIOS. It may be possible that when your HDD spins down it's sending off a wierd command do your APM hardware which is either misinterpreted by a) FreeBSD's apm support or b) your BIOS's APM support which suspends the whole system or something whacky like that. -- Matthew Emmerton GSI Computer Services +1 (800) 217-5409 (Canada) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
