First, define "not working".

The difference between -16mdk and -17mdk is that -17mdk uses ACPI by
default. There could be several reasons for your problem.

Most likely, your laptop doesn't support ACPI. Easy; edit your
bootloader's config (/etc/lilo.conf if you use lilo) and add "acpi=off"
to the boot options. Now you'll go back to using APM, the older system
that -16mdk and earlier kernels use.

But also, you could think it's not working because you're using some
kind of utility that only supports APM power management...try with some
ACPI tools before deciding for sure it doesn't work.
