Don't sweat it. I understand. I like FreeBSD too.

However, I'd like to note here that I HAVE tried APM support under 4.8-RELEASE
on this laptop, and I couldn't even get 4.8 to detect APM in the BIOS at
kernel boot.

That may very well have been correctable with an obscure kernel option,
but I doubt it. I'm pretty familiar with 4.8 as I run it on all of my
servers.

So, in short, I'm only running 5.1-RELEASE right now because 4.8 wouldn't
detect APM at all...

But I'm not here to gripe about it. I want to fix it. I want to make it
better. I very strongly dislike giving Linux praise over FreeBSD. It's
painful. :)

So let's try to figure out why this CD-ROM keeps me from resuming after
suspend, shall we?
