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. > The last report of apm brokenness on Toshiba laptops I can find, > however, was from almost a year ago.

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: http://www.4gh.net/hints/toshiba/satellite1005-s157.html 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.
