Agreed. But there a lot of grey areas. Like missing/bad power management
implementation. Not fully initialized PCI devices.
The answer is perhaps the typical support answer for all
untested/unsupported combinations.

On eComstation[OS/2] there is an problem when the APM driver
calls the 'connect APM' BIOS procedure. If the call is 
done with CPU cache on, the System will trap on return
because of an inaccessible stack.
