question, Is MDK trying to eliminate apm, replacing it with acpi? The rpm suspend scripts makes it impossible for me suspend my laptop. The latest kernels are built without apm support etc. In my case I really do need to use apm instead of acpi. Why? Because Compaq with the Armada series (and I'm told some of the Presario series as well) doesn't support acpi. the DSDT scripts are apparently mucked up in bios and since you can't do anything in bios but enter your name and passwords you are kinda outa luck. I'm quite sure not everyone is able to use brand new 1800 dollar laptops and some compromises may need to be made.
in /etc/lilo.conf, add append="acpi=off" and run lilo (or add the paramater in grub if you use it)
Works fine on my HP OmniBook500
