Hi,

Just a quick note to alert you to a problem versus 2.5.69 virgin. In 
dmesg, I see the following:

failed to register PPP device (0)

Despite this, ppp seems to work fine, and the /dev/ppp device is 
generated by devfs (was it /dev/ppp0 before?). Any ideas?

Cheers,
Alistair.

  What else should be disablable?

No, Andreas' bug is different. He obviously built APM as a module,
and apparently the save and restore processor state procedures in
suspend.c aren't EXPORT_SYMBOL()d. I never build APM as a module
so I didn't notice this in my testing.

Workarounds: configure APM non-modular, or add EXPORT_SYMBOL()
for {save,restore}_processor_state somewhere in arch/i386/kernel/.

I'll whip up a proper patch with the EXPORT_SYMBOL()s tomorrow.
