These quoted lines here struck me as particularly interesting.  I use
a Dell Inspiron laptop with grub (not sure on version, probably 0.90)
and linux (2.4.8).  Sometimes when I close the cover (suspend-to-ram)
then open it later I get lots of "hda: lost interrupt" messages and
all I can do is hard-reset the machine.  Could this be caused by the
above mentioned interactions?  I have the APM stuff in the kernel and
I like it because the machine shuts off automatically when I tell it
too.  If this is indeed (or might be) the problem, how can I correct
it?  Do I simply need to remove the apm sutff from my kernel?
