Done as you said:-)! I've done two acpidumps - one after a normal boot and
another one after disabling apm.

1. With apm enabled: www.file-upload.net/en/download-791386/asus-m6ne.tgz.html

2. With apm disabled: www.file-upload.net/en/download-791419/asus-m6ne_dis
able-apm.tgz.html

Please let me know, if you need further information!

Thanks a lot!!!
