The stock Debian config are:

        $ grep -i apm /boot/config-2.6.8-1-686
        # Power management options (ACPI, APM)
        # APM (Advanced Power Management) BIOS Support
        CONFIG_APM=m
        # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
        # CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set
        # CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set
        # CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set
        # CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set
        # CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
        # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set
        
        voyager: ~
        $ grep -i apm /boot/config-2.6.7-1-686
        # Power management options (ACPI, APM)
        # APM (Advanced Power Management) BIOS Support
        CONFIG_APM=m
        # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
        # CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set
        # CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set
        # CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set
        # CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set
        # CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
        # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set

There're no changes to module loading or config between the two.

My lilo.conf has the same append line:

        append="apm=on apm=power-off acpi=off"

So I can't understand the difference in results.
