The 2.2 kernels don't have apm as a module, so that isn't (shouldn't
be) your problem.

There's the problem.

I don't use lilo. I would have expected it to work. I guess double
check your lilo.conf and make sure you don't have a typo.

Yep -- in the kernel's compile-time config apm was disabled by
default. Since the kernel didn't see "apm=on" on its command line, it
decides that you want it off.
