I had kernel-2.4.17-686-image running just fine w/ apm support on my Dell Latitude. I think it's very nice of the package maintainers to include that, btw. I have the line append="apm=on" in my lilo.conf. Yesterday I installed kernel-2.4.18-686-image. Now when booting back into 2.4.17, wmbattery won't start. I tried starting it on the command line, and it says no apm support in the kernel. I also have apmd installed. One of the early lines in /etc/init.d/apmd runs /usr/lib/apmd/ampd/apm_exists , which I assume must return a boolean value or non-zero or something or else the script exits. An even earlier line looks for the existance of /usr/sbin/apmd or cause the script to exit. Both of those files exist, what is going on here? If I run apm_exists from the command line I get nada. Can anyone point in the right direction to solve this? Why would it work before installing 2.4.18? I also did an dist-upgrade yesterday.
