Well... I think I finally got it working *fingers crossed*. Thanks for your help Max, I also used 'apm acpi=off'. It seems my problem was with lilo. Not really sure if it was just me or if it is a problem with lilo, but I wasnt able to get it to work until I went to grub (wich I like much better).

I'm seeing a different issue with this switch.

If I use the acpi=off switch in my grub setup,
my pendrive in sda1 ( or any other sdXx ) is unaccessible.

Removing this one item makes the pendrive happy again.

Before this, I could not detect it, partition it, or format it.

Strangeness..

hmm... Just tried out my usb drive on my lappy with the new additions to grub and didnt seem to have a problem so far. I was able to access the usb drive (sda1), mount it and browse around my files and folders.
