The boards in my machines are the Tyan S2880 Thunder k8s, very nice, 
(dual gigabit, ide, serial ata, and scsi)

The bios on these support acpi and power managment, but i have found that
the kernel says 'APM is not SMP safe!' and disables it, i know for a fact that
2.4.22 has acpi problems on later opterons, but surely? APM for SMP machines
under linux? any ideas?
