Which versions?

2.6.32-5-686 and 3.2.0.0.bpo.4-rt-686-pae

I very much doubt that this laptop supports APM, as that's been obsolete
for 10 years!

So did the people at #linux, but apparently, they got this information from my dmesg (which was attached in my previous email).  I also get error messages saying apm: BIOS not found.  

As for ACPI, turning it off is generally a bad idea (as you've seen!)
but the advice to 'try acpi=off' is still lingering among long-time
Linux users.

Right.  They told me the same thing, but wanted to see if anything happened at all.

And that was quite a few versions back, so evidently this is not a new
problem.

Yes, and I've seen some other people with the same problem.  Should I try getting more info on this problem? Would additional log files help?
