How to enable APM on kernel 2.6.14-2-686

[Paulo M C Aragão <yagpaulo-listas@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

Would anybody know how to enable APM on a 2.6.14-2-686 kernel ?

After I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.14-2-686, I noticed I couldn't suspend my 
laptop. It's an old Fujitsu Lifebook E342, with APM.

These messages come from dmesg:

apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16ac)
apm: overridden by ACPI.
apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16ac)
apm: disabled on user request.

these from syslog:

Nov 17 08:53:47 localhost kernel: apm: disabled on user request.
Nov 17 08:53:47 localhost modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting apm 
(/lib/modules/2.6.14-2-686/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.ko): No such device 

from /boot/config-2.6.14-2-686

CONFIG_APM=m

/proc/cmdline:

root=/dev/hda1 ro

I'm not sure what else could be relevant to solve this problem. I googled on 
"apm disabled linux kernel 2.6.14" but didn't hit anything that looked 
relevant. I also searched in vain /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.14/.

I'm not quite sure how to go about this. I feel that I'm missing some concept.
Could anybody be kind enough to give me a hand ?

Thanks
Paulo
