After adding a second CPU(dual proc ABIT board) the system goes into standby(apm -Z) and never comes back up. I have to hit reset and reboot without properly halting and the file system does not appreciate this. There is an option for apm, I think apm -d with a 1 or 0, that controls how the display handles apm. Check man apm and apmconf for more options.
