It ain't easy but this is mis-understanding. For modular kernel with APM, you need "insmod apm power_off=1" or "apm power_off=1" in /etc/modules. If you compile-in APM, then lilo's append for boot parameter should have "apm=on apm=power-off" (I may be wrong with _- but both may work. Kernel 2.4.9 had buggy (at least for me) apm. 2.4.12 works fine, I think. > Fiddle with your BIOS settings to make it work. BIOS, make sure not let BIOS kick in APM for SMP machine.
