Two different kernel config settings are involved in getting computer
off at shutdown. First is that CONFIG_APM=y must be set.
Now if CONFIG_APM_DISABLE_BY_DEFAULT is_not_set then thats all you
need.
However if CONFIG_APM_DISABLE_BY_DEFAULT is_set then this
option will disable APM at boot time unless apm=on is specified.
The default setting is dependent on the kernel version.In kernel
2.2.18 it is not set, so append='apm=on' is not required in lilo.conf.
