This is done by apm. It sounds like you run a fairly stock set up, so
you should be able to get this working fairly easily.
Add the following line to your /etc/lilo.conf and then run lilo (both
must be done as root).
append="apm=on"
You may also need to add apm to the list of modules to be loaded at
boot:
echo apm >> /etc/modules
HTH,
Nick.
