Hi there,
Upon checking the mailing lists..it seems to has to do with some APM management with some amd mobos. I might be wrong. But so far i haven't got that error on my amd chip yet. Can anyone verify exactly where this error would come from? I have a friend using intel on a notebook and he is having the same problem. So could it be AMD? or just certain motherboards/hardisks
Regards,
James Lim

I have seen this happen several times, thou I have never experienced it myself.
The only thing the boxes have had in common, is that they have all been AMD's.
Twice, I have seen people take the harddrive out of the AMD machines and put it in a Intel based one, and the error have disappered.
I hate to believe it, but could it be that FreeBSD has a problem with certain AMD's?
