Chuck: So IIRC, under advanced install, APM is selected by default and ACPI is not. Am I correct in understanding you are recommending unselecting APM at this point in the pre-install screen? Thanks, Jon Absolutely. The SMP kernel, which was developed for Warp Server, never expected to be suspended or throttled. Pasha is working on a patch, but I don't think it is complete yet. Any idea whether the UNI kernel includes APM support, Chuck, and whether the UNI kernel might be lacking something which ACPI would want in order to enable SMP? I have been running the UNI kernel on my T43 for a long time, APM works, and it suspends (no ACPI!!). I'm just curious as to whether that m8ght fast track the APM support under SMP for the T60/61, T400/500, related systems, and some desktops.
