    Hi.

    As written in the subject, my computer freezes at the point it should
    load APM. However, it does boot in safe mode, and "shutdown -p now"
    works perfectly.

    Moreover, unfortunatly, when I boot in safe mode, only one of my two
    processors is being used (it is therefore impossible to always boot in
    safe mode).

    Thus, my question is: What does booting in safe mode changes, about
    APM, so that it works?

    Actually, I would like this function to work, since it is pretty
    useful with SSH.

    Thanks.

    Notes:

    1: For sure, the problem is about it since my computer boots perfectly
    when disabled in "device.hints", but doesn't when enabled.

    2: I can't use ACPI since my BIOS is "on the black list".

    3: I am using FreeBSD 5.3.

    4: My server is a HP Kayak XU/400, dual Pentium II Xeon 400 Mhz, 640 Megabytes.
