APM locks up Ashton Digital Passport 2100

[Overkill of TASF]

So, I've got this nice laptop from Ashton Digital that I'm trying to put 
Debian on... But EVERY time it does anything with APM, whether adding a 
kernel module or activating the debian package for it, everything hard 
locks, immediately. Has anyone had any experience with this laptop, or this 
problem?
