Bug#273474: APM broken in image-2.6.8-1 version 2.6.8-3, worked in 2.6.8-1

["Marcus C. Gottwald" <mcg@cheers.de>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686
Version: 2.6.8-3

I have been using version 2.6.8-1 just fine on a Dell Latitude
C400 notebook and upgraded to the recent version 2.6.8-3. After
upgrading,

a) the built-in, APM-related function keys (e.g for triggering a
   BIOS-controlled suspend or for entering the BIOS) stopped
   working.

b) a user-initiated suspend (apm --suspend) leads to a suspended
   system, but it won't wake up again. After having pressed the
   power button on a suspended system, a few LEDs blink as
   usual, but the system immediately goes dead/sleeping/...
   again.

After downgrading back to 2.6.8-1 (the deb was still on my
disk), everything is working again.

I'm running a mixed stable/testing system, apmd and libapm1 are
from testing (3.2.2-2).


Cheers, Marcus
