This just to report something about apm on IBM thinkpad 345cs.

o Booting with w95osr2+loadlin 1.6a give a gpf after "apm: BIOS version 1.1 ..."
no problem at all with lilo.

o There isn't any consistent doc talking about "apm" on linux/Documentation
( expecially for "apm available cmdline option" )
looking at the source is funny and help to find bug ;))
