I boot non-ACPI kernels all the time: mercury:~> grep -E 'PM|ACPI' /proc/config.gz mercury:~> mercury:~> uname -a Linux mercury 2.6.38-tip+ #110579 SMP Sat Mar 26 11:47:58 CET 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How does it fail for you? Could you describe the steps you'd like to see from folks using APM to see it tested? What kernel configs, BIOS options, etc., what should they see in the syslog, etc. - to make sure APM mode is still working fine?
