Hi. As written in the subject, my computer freezes at the point it should load APM. However, it does boot in safe mode, and "shutdown -p now" works perfectly. Moreover, unfortunatly, when I boot in safe mode, only one of my two processors is being used (it is therefore impossible to always boot in safe mode). Thus, my question is: What does booting in safe mode changes, about APM, so that it works? Actually, I would like this function to work, since it is pretty useful with SSH. Thanks. Notes:=20 1: For sure, the problem is about it since my computer boots perfectly when disabled in "device.hints", but doesn't when enabled. 2: I can't use ACPI since my BIOS is "on the black list". =20 3: I am using FreeBSD 5.3. 4: My server is a HP Kayak XU/400, dual Pentium II Xeon 400 Mhz, 640 Megab= ytes.
