I have run into the same thing with kernel-2.4.21pre4-10mdk. I built it with all ACPI enabled as you did but I get the same message and no power management. It did work for me with the stock 9.0 kernel (not the -24mdk upgrade which I haven't installed on it). My laptop is an IBM Thinkpad. I tried recompiling 3 times, making sure I selected the appropriate ACPI entries. It appears to affect battery and AC power monitoring. praedor
