Longterm troubleshooting APM at boot

[Charles Johnson <charlesnjohnson@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks to folk on the list for help in getting grub set to avoid loading 
the APM module at boot.

This is the first time I have ever had this sort of kernel troubles with 
RedHat, or with the motherboard, or some combination.

Is the problem likely to be with the APM code in the kernel? The 
motherboard bios (I have an Intel D850EMVRL)? I would appreciate any 
pointers to how I might diagnose the issue. Do I just have to wait until 
Intel catches up with RedHat (or vice versa) or are there any proactive 
measures I can take?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Cheers--
Charles
