I have that.

I tried to load apm with modconf, and got the following error:

Installing module apm. If the device isn't there, or isn't configured
correctly, this could cause your system to pause for up to a minute.

/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-k7/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o: init_module: No
such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

Looking at my BIOS setup screen (during booting), I saw something about
ACPI.  Am I correct in thinking that APM & ACPI are mutually exclusive,
that my motherboard supports ACPI, and that I need to learn to set that
up instead?
