Maybe add "apm=on" to the command line? This isn't necessary if apm is turned on by default. I have $ grep APM /boot/config-2.4.8-custom.1.2 CONFIG_APM=y # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y # CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set # CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y # CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set for this laptop, and no "apm=on" in the kernel commandline.
