How do you enable APM or ACPI in the kernel?Let me rephrase that. How can I enable ACPI in a stock Debian kernel?

Maybe it's my BSD roots showing, but I encourage everybody to learn to compile their own kernels. There's a pretty good howto available for Debian kernel compilation at http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html.
I think what Adam might want to do is to run "modconf", go down to the "kernel/drivers/acpi" section, and install any necessary features in that manner. (I think different versions of modconf look different, so if you're not running Sid you may have to search a bit in modconf to find the right stuff, but this should give you a start.)
