CONFIG_I8K gives you direct control of the hardware features on the machine while APM itself is also responsible for managing them. That there is a food fight as a result should not be a suprise.
What you may want to try is using a semaphore so you never issue an APM and an I8K call/request at the same time - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
