Re: kernel-2.4.27 acpi not being found

I installed acpid on my laptop with the debian kernel-image-2.4.27-2-686

to be recompiled. It's true that 'cat /proc' does not show any acpi
subdirectory, but:
root :~# modprobe acpi
modprobe: Can't locate module acpi
paul :~$ grep -i acpi /boot/config-2.4.27-2-686
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI=m
# ACPI Support
CONFIG_ACPI=y
[more kernel config]
CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA=m
# CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is not set
How do I interpret this information? Is there something else I need to
do to activate acpi in this stock debian kernel?
Do I have to recompile?

acpi is there, just compiled in, not as a module.
Either way, that's still odd that there isn't a /proc/acpi...

Things like this (in particular.. acpi, apm, filesystems, ide drivers,
etc) I like to compile in because I know I am always going to be using
them and not have to worry about forgetting to load a module.
However, that was from a vanilla 2.6.10, so there may be some other
patch with the debian kernel-image which would effect this.
