Howdy list,

I'm again trying to get some form of power management operational
under FreeBSD. (If I can't, I'm not going back to Linux. I'll just
deal with it! But it would certainly be nice....)

I have APM compiled into my kernel.

I do this at the boot prompt:

unset hint.apm.0.disabled
set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1

And apm is detected fine at boot.

When I run 'apm' as root, it says apm is disabled.

So I run 'apm -e enable'. Then I run 'apm' as root
again, and it says apm management is enabled.

So, I do 'apm -z', and my system suspends properly.

BUT, when I bring it out of suspend:

The screen comes back on-line properly.
Firewire reinits properly.
A few more messages go by...
But then it says something like 'initializing ATA devices',
and I get a terrible un-ending beep from the speakers.

There's no getting around it. I never get my prompt back and
I have to power down the machine.

This is all from a text console. No X.

Any ideas anyone?
