Hughes's message of "Wed, 25 Feb 2004 22:22:31 +0100") Message-ID: <87hdxckx6u.fsf@phiwumbda.org> User-Agent: Gnus/5.090017 (Oort Gnus v0.17) XEmacs/21.4 (Reasonable Discussion, linux) Organization: The International Eternal Order of Palsy-Walsies References: <87u11eam7c.fsf@phiwumbda.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I recompiled my 2.6.3 kernel without any ACPI support but with APM support (as a module) to see if, as Jaroslav suggested, the semaphore errors I get are due to ACPI. I'm afraid they aren't. After some hours of the laptop being on, but the soundcard unused, I tried to play a sound. Nothing came out. The usual semaphore errors were in the syslog. Please help. I'm at wit's end with this bug, which has been with me since November. I have appended part of my previous post for diagnosis. jesse@phiwumbda.org (Jesse F.
