APM (Advanced Power Management) should work with that kernel. Is the
apm module already loaded? What is the output of 'lsmod | grep
apm'?
If the module is not loaded, run the command 'modprobe apm
power_off=1'. Add the line 'apm power_off=1' to /etc/modules so that
the module will be loaded automatically the next time you boot.
