Thanks, Todd. That's it. Run mkinitrd <filename> <kernel version(as stated under /lib/modules)> and change lilo.conf. That's it.
The good news is that my disk speed went from 6MB / sec to 27MB / sec with the new kernel! Haven't tested the auto power off. Now I have to tackle the problems! My nvidia driver was the first thing to stop working. Time for a recompile (or at least try) and the sound driver didn't load! Maybe after all this, that KDE 3.0 upgrade won't seem so huge a task!
