A classical interrupt that is supposed to replace the SMI one for some hardware subsystem, so that the OS will handle those instead of the APM bios (to be short). > I.e. what could the outcome of the above bug in the ASL code be?

I think also it's a minor bug. > Could it be related > to the failure to properly sleep on these laptops? It's unrelated. -- Bruno Ducrot -- Which is worse: ignorance or apathy? -- Don't know.
