Fatal error on boot up

[Mustang64]

I'm trying to eliminate errors in my boot. This is one I thought I had "fixed" by uninstalling all the APM programs I could find. I don't need power management on my desktop! Anyway, here is the error I get

snip

Any ideas?

kompile a new kernel without APM support, should fix the problem.
by the way, if you remove power managment you wil not be able to shut your computer of completly without, manually, "pulling the plug".
it is APM or acpi that lets the OS shut things of automaticy.
on some systems you can just hold powerbutton presses for 3 - 10s, when the powerof line shows up on screen, to shut down.

Total system shutdown seems to be working OK at this time, and I've never "Kompiled" anything (not sure I want to ). If I leave everything as is - any harm?

I also catch a fast flash of a error that does not show up in syslog. It states something like

modprobe fatal error installing rtc (something something something) file does not exist

or something like that. Any ideas on this one?
