Re: question about kernel 2.6.1

[Roman Jordan <RomanJordan@gmx.de>]

Thanks a lot for your help.
I have installed the kernel 2.6.2, use PM (instead of ACPI) and i use
the real mode bios jump for shutdown. And now the things are working. At
the moment not in all cases, but i hope it will be better.

Greetings,
Roman Jordan
