It ain't easy but this is mis-understanding.
For modular kernel with APM, you need "insmod apm power_off=1" or
"apm power_off=1" in /etc/modules.
If you compile-in APM, then lilo's append for boot parameter should have
"apm=on apm=power-off"
(I may be wrong with _- but both may work. Kernel 2.4.9 had buggy (at
least for me) apm. 2.4.12 works fine, I think.

BIOS, make sure not let BIOS kick in APM for SMP machine. It kills
you :-)
