during last week i tested mandrake cooker system with notebook without
apm support, but only with acpi support. i found some problems with
this.
acpi support is in config enabled (if is enabled apm too, this is
automatically disabled during boot process if kernel found acpi bios
support). if i look at config file i found something like this:

$ grep acpi -i kernel-2.4.18-i586.config
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI=m
CONFIG_ACPI=y
# CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_BUSMGR=m
CONFIG_ACPI_SYS=m
CONFIG_ACPI_CPU=m
CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=m
CONFIG_ACPI_AC=m
CONFIG_ACPI_EC=m
CONFIG_ACPI_CMBATT=m
CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=m

but i can´t find any these modules
(rpm -ql kernel-2.4.18.21mdk-1-1mdk|grep acpi -i).

this is maybe reason, why acpid can´t start and wrote a message:
acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: No such file or directory

.. and i think, that package pmtools will be add into distribution:
(http://phobos.fs.tum.de/acpi/download.html)
