That sounds like a bug -- you should get APM if acpi is disabled;
if you don't, then filing a bug would be good.
I filed a bug about the sound problem. I'm going to test with acpi=off
again and see if apm is doing what I think it should be.
A lot of the bits of ACPI don't really work under 2.4, including
sleeping.
The only reason we included it was for the configuration bits -- device
enumeration. As an "APM replacement" it really isn't quite all there in
2.4.
thanks.
