Correct for 4.7-RELEASE. I tried 5.0-DP2 (I think) and was able to
boot from CD successfully without changing anything. I didn't do much
beyond that.

I have a Toshiba Satellite 1005-S157. APM doesn't even come close to
working. I don't think there is any APM support in the BIOS. I think
ACPI with 5.0 is going to be the only solution for my machine.
You may also run into the touchpad problem which requires a kernel
patch. You can get it from my web page at:

All in all, I'm really wishing I had a different laptop. The keyboard
with its mislocated ~/` key, no CD-RW, poor battery life, missing APM
and noisy fan all make me wish I had a different laptop.
The only thing good about my Toshiba is it has a line-in port which is
very important for me. It looks like almost none of the current
laptop models made by anybody have stereo line-in ports any more.
