Warp/APM woes

[kyeanopl@amazon.den.mmc.com (Karl Yeanoplos)]

I got the Warp GA up and running on my 360 this weekend, and I'm 
generally pretty happy with the exception of some power management
problems.

First the good stuff -

Warp installed with no problems and correctly sensed all installed
hardware.  APM was automatically installed, the PCMCIA drivers were
all installed and configured correctly, and SVGA video drivers were
even installed without having to endure the selective install routine.
Warp is MUCH faster than the 2.1 release, and seems quite responsive
even on my underpowered TP360 (486/SX33).  Overall, I'd say it's a
winner, and definitely a great value thanks to the included software
bundle (bonus pack).

Now the not-so-good stuff -

Power management problems abound, all related to running on AC power.
The machine enters suspend mode OK but will not recover without pushing
the reset button (restart).  This is really a pain due to the fact that
I'm in the habit of putting my machine in suspend so that I can install
the battery prior to entering hibernation.  (This is a work-around for
the AC power related bug which causes system hang when attempting to
access a PCMCIA device following hibernation.)  Since suspend now also
locks the machine, the only way to safely hibernate is to turn the
machine off, install the battery, restart the computer, and then enter
hibernation.  With OS/2 boot times being what they are, this just takes
WAY too long.

Can anyone else verify these problems?  I want to make sure that it isn't
just me before I call IBM to demand a fix.  It seems like we've been
living with these problems long enough, and let's face it - the power
management schemes are useless if they force a machine restart every
time you use them.  Thanks,
