Hi all,
Due to the fact this it is riddled with bugs that the developers do not seem interested in fixing, and the battery monitor does not work with it I would like to disable ACPI on my FC3 laptop.
I've tried adding the acpi=no parameter to the kernel bootup in the grub.config file but the machine is still booting in ACPI, i.e there is no /proc/APM folder.
How do I disable it?

I believe you need to add acpi=off in the grub.conf file. I have the opposite problem, I cannot boot without acpi. See grub entry for the flipside.
title Fedora Core (2.6.10-1.1155_FC4) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.1155_FC4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 acpi=on 3
With the longer volume number, the line is wrapped.
acpi=off

Does acpi=off work? Documentation/x86_64/boot_options.txt suggests that's what you're supposed to use.
Otherwise, you could always recompile your kernel without it compiled in...
It doesn't look as though x86_64 kernels support APM: there's no option in make *config to turn it on as far as I can see.
Hope this helps,
James.
