Likewise!

My T30 is now doing much better. I have found a couple of CURRENT issues
that I will be sending to the current list shortly, but I can say that
options DISABLE_PSE in the kernel configuration is a recipe for weird
failures. Lots of panics. No APM. In general, life was bad. I also
removed "options DISABLE_PG_G, but I am not sure that this is
required. (More kernel builds coming!)

In any case, the rumor that DISABLE_PSE and DISABLE_PG_G are safe
options in wrong. They clearly SHOULD be safe, but...

I will attach the kernel configuration from my T30 on the chance that it
might suggest something to Andrew. I think it should pretty much be OK
for a T23. Note: make sure that APM is enabled and ACPI disabled in
/boot/device.hints and that APM_ENABLE="1" is in rc.conf! (Maybe some
day ACPI will work well enough that I can switch, but I still can't
suspend with ACPI.)
