Hi Stephen,
Looking more closely at a 2.2.18 bootup tonight I see that apm stuff
appears in dmesg before dmi_scan does (I added "#define DUMP_DMI" in
dmi_scan.c).
If this implies that apm is initialised *before* the dmi_scan then there
is potentially a problem with buggy BIOSen that oops instead

New diff against unmolested 2.2.18pre24 (appears to apply cleanly to
2.2.18 also) is attached.

Hold that one, I just found another case I haven't covered: booting with
apm=debug causes oops and nukes the bootup. Reading the source, I can't

AcerNote-950, with APM enabled.
All is fine except that I can reliably "oops" it
