For what it's worth, I would recommend against going to the 2.4 kernels
only for ACPI. You are, I suspect, likely to find it less developed than
you would like.
It's in a fairly primitive state at the moment (to the best of my
knowledge; I am not a developer of it or anything).
I run 2.4 for other reasons and occasionally trial ACPI again but, at
the moment, stick with APM. It works and stuff. :)
