  In fact, it is disabled but compiled into the kernel:

$ grep APM /boot/config-2.2.15
CONFIG_APM=y
CONFIG_APM_DISABLE_BY_DEFAULT=y
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
# CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set
# CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set
# CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_MULTIPLE_SUSPEND is not set
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_SUSPEND_BOUNCE is not set
# CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set
# CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
# CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set

  To enable the Power off on shutdown, with ATX boxes, add append="apm=on"
in your /etc/lilo.conf, run lilo, reboot !
