I apologise in advance for this rather ranty email, but I think its relevant to the dev list because I believe hit on some bug. I (foolishly) try to get FC4 to power manage my laptop (Thinkpad T41p). I don't understand how to do "apm -s" with ACPI (can someone tell me how? -- because I can't find it documented anywhere). So I boot with "acpi=off" boot option so that I can use the more intuitive apm system. On boot system-config-display asks for root password (I've never seen that before). I hit return a few times because I'm not interested in reconfiguring my display (especially at boot time?!). Boot goes bad -- lots of things don't load. In particular pcmcia stuff -- so I don't have networking any more. Oh oh. Ok, no problem I just reboot with default options. No good: my system is still hosed. **Something has reconfigured/corrupted my system setup without my permission.** It has something to do with modues. Nothing unusual has changed in /etc/* at the time of the incident, but all the modules.* files in /lib/modues/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 now have no data (just the header comment line). Is this a bug, or did I do something incredibly stupid that warranted my system to be rendered unusable?
