Thanks for the suggestion. I tried again the other day, but with nothing to show for it. I tried various combinations of noacpi, apm=on, apm=force and acpi=off. The only one that helps me at all is acpi=off. If I put this before the mydsl, home & opt stuff in the append line than the apm works but the persistent home & opt dont. Likewise if I put the mydsl, home & opt stuff first followed by the acpi=off than the apm is overridden with acpi. Not sure where to go from here, I guess I will just have to go without.

Thanks for the tip.

apm acpi=off lets me use the wmapm battery monitor on this newish IBM laptop.  Before I couldn't get the right combination to work.

Ok. So did you just add 'apm acpi=off' to the end (or beginning?) of your append line in ~boot/lilo.conf? I am just trying to figure out where exactly to put it because I have not been able to get anything to work thus far. All the details you can give me would be appreciated.
