If you look at your .config file in the kernel source root directory
there are a few options related to APM.  Edit that file and look for
CONFIG_APM.  You may need to enable one or more of those additional
options, e.g. check out CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF.  It may also
be a peculiarity of your BIOS.  See if there's an available BIOS
upgrade for your motherboard.

If you still have a problem I can check my settings tonight when I'm
at my Debian machine.

Cheers,
Steve
