no CONFIG_APM and yes, this is my problem. A very hard way to figure this out, and too much noise. Sorry for this. It is not the first time, I had to change my .config to maintain a feature of the kernel after an upgrade. I think, you are aware of this an I have no suggestion for improvement. Now this old laptop is running perfectly again with the latest kernel.
