Not so fast. Now default 2.4 kernels have compiled apm as a module, it
needs to be activated. For SMP, you need "insmod apm power-off=1" or
something like this. One of the recent bug report by me was closed by
maintainer over this issue.:-)
I can tell ACPI worked fine for me even with 2.4.9 and code seems to be
more SMP friendly.
APM on 2.4.9 was broken for me but 2.4.8 worked fine.I am on Abit BP-6
SMP.
If you compile apm into SMP kernel, use boot parameter "apm=on
apm=power-off" in lilo.conf.
power-off in above statements may have been power_off.
