Hi
 
I sent a message yesterday regarding the same problem, but I don't think I explained it very well (c'mon, it was late!)
 
Anyway, I've installed Red Hat 8.0 (clean install, on second hard disk, first disk has WinXP)
 
I mostly selected the defaults during setup, including the default settings for the bootloader configuration (which I believe to be GRUB, MBR, HDA)
 
When I rebooted after setup, the menu appeared, I hit enter to boot into RH8, a whole bunch of text scrolled past and then stopped on the line
 
"apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x0b (Driver version 1.16)"
 
The exact same thing happened when I first installed RH 7.3 too.
 
The same thing also happens when I (try to) use the bootdisk created during install.
 
Yet if I use Lilo, everything works fine!
 
Also, if I boot from the bootdisk, and type "linux apm=off" at the "Boot:" prompt, it boots up!
 
Can anyone explain what's happening here, do different bootloaders configure stuff like apm differently?  I just though they where used to select images to load into memory etc...
 
Thanks for any help you can give.
 
Rob.
