After booting the new kernel, apm says: Kernel build with no APM
support. /proc/apm does not exist!

append= apm=on in /etc/lilo.conf does not change anything 

any ideas?

Have you accidentally enabled ACPI support?  Can you post your boot messages?
You may also find that enabling APIC of any kind will brake the APM-support - as it did on my DELL Inspiron 8100 .
