Description Need Real Name 2003-06-27 22:35:01 UTC 
After an upgrade to RedHat 9 I started getting 
from time to time stalls during boot.
Last message on console is

 apm: BIOS version 1.2 ......

To get computer working I need to power cycle the computer.
There was no such problem with RedHat 7.3

I have Intel motherboard (see below)
Clean install of RedHat 9
kernel-2.4.20-9

What happens if you use one of the following options with booting the Linux kernel :

apm=off
apm=power_off
apm=realmode_power_off

See the following URL :

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
