Thus spake Andreas Janssen:
# What exactly does "still trying to use apm" mean?
Well, I am guessing that's what it's doing when it prints to the console and
dmesg the following error message:
apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x07 (Driver version 1.16ac)
apm: overridden by ACPI.
It also prints a fatal error to the console saying that when it is trying to
insert the apm module that there is no such device. But that isn't sent to
dmesg. I apologize. I guess I should have clarified what is happening a little
better.
# Does it try to use the apm driver instead of the acpi driver?
Not exactly. It seems to keep trying to load the apm driver even though the acpi
driver is already loaded.
# Did you compile apm support as a module, or into the kernel?
I am currently running a stock 2.6.4 kernel which has apm compiled as a module.
# Did you try the "apm=off" boot parameter?
Yes. No luck. Same thing happens.
# Did you rerun lilo after changing the config file?
I actually decided to try grub, so I didn't have to run anything after changing
the config file.
