Hi Rick,

I'm just closing this matter: I find out that *all* modules where'nt 
loaded. I tried all your above mentionned possibilities, nothing to do. 
I finally make an mrproper before building SMP kernel and it worked! As 
explained in SMP howto, APM has also to be disabled.

Thanks for your hints.
