I am also having problems with APM, but on a different laptop. On my Toshiba
Satellite Pro 4290, halt -p works fine, but as of a few months ago (can't
really remember when), the machine will not suspend when I press the power
button, it just turns itself off immediately (i.e., not a clean shutdown).
Closing the panel will not work either, I just hear a beep and nothing happens.
I can suspend it with 'apm --suspend', though, and it works fine.
I am running sid, with kernel 2.4.17 + preemptible kernel patches. I tried the
kernel options you suggested, but nothing changed.
