i have installed gpsdrive on my laptop
but it crashes on startup because the gpsdrive does not

gpsdrive -a (to disable the battery status und power managment does also not work)

i tried at boot apm=off or noapm

Just a thought but did you try looking at the bios configuration to disable power management?

it´s an old ibm thnikpad 365E

perghaps it´s an other thing that the program was killed
on startup

how can i get system logfiles about chrashed programs at startup
gpsdrive -d -D does not tell enough

best regards
