You could try deleting "noacpi" and see what happens when you re-boot. If this hangs your laptop or does not load the acpi modules then you could put back "noacpi" and try deleting "noapm" and re-booting.
Note also, "nosci" should probably read "noscsi"
If it already works as-is, you could always check out the torsmo source code.
I found a torsmo.pup for Puppy and it works perfectly. Thanks.
