I met this error message a few days ago when I updated my kernel to
version 2.6.4 and replaced the APM with ACPI. Because I didn't have
enough time to learn how to make ACPI running as expected, I installed
the "sleepd" program on my Debian Sid. Then the "FATAL: error inserting
apm" came out.
After I grepped in the "/var/log/syslog" I found this error message was
generated by "sleepd", so I removed it from my Debian box and the error
message dispeared. :)
Because the "sleepd" claims it support APM and ACPI both, I installed
it after the first glance. But it seems works under APM by default(I
am not sure, maybe I should RTFM :), so it complains if there is no APM
moudle loaded.
You should check the /var/log/syslog to make sure which problem caused
this error message. Then you will found how to get rid of this error
message.:-)
Hope my experenice is kinda helpful to you. :)
