My boss kicks me every day for this :) Try passing "apm=off" to the kernel at boot time (you can do this at the lilo prompt manually or as an "append" parameter in the lilo.conf I'd also double check that all BIOS options are set correctly ... this sounds a bit fishy. Finally, this might actually be acpi at work ... you can also pass "acpi=off" as a kernel boot parameter if this is the case.
