Any insight on APM on SMP machines?

[agabriel at coe.neu.edu (Anthony J. Gabrielson)]

Hello,
I don't think smp is compatible with APM.  A few kernels back It gave an
error msg that it wasn't compatible, then it stopped.  From what I have
been able to figure out the APM code isn't smp safe.

Hope thats a help,
Anthony
