On my debian unstable, laptop system, running kernel 2.6.10-1-686
when  try to run "apm -s" I get the error message:

apm: overridden by ACPI.
No APM support in kernel

modprobe apm gives:
apm: disabled on user request.
FATAL: Error inserting apm

apm was working great on this machine last week.  I backed down to the
previoud kernel (2.6.8) but no change.

Any ideas?

Try booting with acpi=off appended to the kernel command line.
Also make certain that you don't have any userland acpi utilities
that will "helpfully" autoload the module for you.
