Subject: 2.6.21-mm2 -- Why would HAL from Ubuntu 7.04 not recognize that my machine is a laptop?

Hi.  When I run my test kernel, I notice that gnome-power-manager
doesn't display its applet icon in my gnome panel.  I am wondering if
I am:
1)  using the wrong compile options, which is causing HAL to not be happy
or
2)  something is busted in the kernel
or
3)  there is a HAL version issue (ubuntu's HAL support isn't current)

I ran g-p-m in debug mode and got the following:
