APM Not Really Compiled Into Debian Kernel

[Adam Porter <adam@alphapapa.net>]

I've been fiddling with testing on an old laptop, and I've been reading 
some messages and docs that say that Debian kernels have APM built-in, 
but that it's not enabled by default.

Well, here's what I just discovered: in 2.6.10-4, it's not compiled-in; 
it's set up as a module.  After `modprobe apm` it worked; adding 
"apm=on" to the kernel parameters didn't do a thing.

I just thought I'd throw this out there as an FYI for anyone who might 
be confused like I was someday.
