Alan,

The custom made kernel (2.4.16) I tried yesterday (compiled under my
Mandrake workstation and ftped to the notebook) didn?t have the APM
option set. I could post the .config but first, as to discard a memory
error as you suggested, I?ll try tonight memtest86 and see what
happends.

Thanks.
jc.
