One of two things helped it: a) Build kernel without floppy support (insmod to use it) and b) Kernel apm patch that I found out there somewhere. This all seems to work well in normal operation. I plugin ethernet and use it, quit and remove it, and hybernate with Fn-F12. Suspend works too. It all goes south when I hit the road and plug the old modem in. Loading serial.o seems to kill the apm and no apm works until I re-boot. Didn't have that problem on a 760L that I was using. HTH... davew -- dwiebold@etnsed.aus.etn.com . . . . . . .
