Recently I was forced to upgrade my kernel. I am now running 2.6.16 with an imported configuration from 2.6.8. My hardware is an IBM T23 Laptop, which does not function well with ACPI. I am running with ACPI in the kernel, but disabled at boot (--acpi=off) and APM as a module. This is identical to the arrangement I was running in 2.6.8. Unfortunately, now ACPI loads anyway and 'modprobe apm' returns "No such device." On boot, dmesg fills with ACPI errors but boots normally.

My apologies, everyone. My mistake was as simple as it was pernicious: grub's arguments don't take --dash prefixes. Simply running with "acpi=off apm=on" works.

Sorry for the spam.  My frustration clouded my mind.
