The APM (advanced power management) code in the kernel shipped with
RH6.0 and 6.1 has problems with some motherboards and will generate
OOPSes when it tries to power down your machine.
It's not much of a problem, since it's the very last thing the kernel
does (obviously). If it annoys you, you can re-compile the kernel
without APM support, or try to use a boot parameter to turn APM off.
