There's a discussion on the linux kernel mailing list about what happens if 
apm and acpi are both going:

http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2001-00/0826.html

If you have apm in the kernel and acpi loaded from a module, apm might win 
and won't work if your BIOS doesn't support ACPI.  Try turning apm=off in 
lilo.conf, and loading acpid and the acpi module.  

I'm not sure what the acpi module is called, or whether it comes with the 
default 2.4.18 Debian binary or requires compiling.  Anyone else?
