I do not use bootmenu, just the default boot mode. I have the Comm.SSU installed, and ASUI. When I reboot, I need to restart MCE and all the other fiddling that's necessary. Is that what's meant by the "MCE/alarmd problem"?
Do you mean I can get around this by disabling alarmd? Other than setting an alarm (which I never do), is alarmd needed for anything?
