You cannot have both apm and apci enabled. The kernel will build, but only the one that loads first gets enabled. From /usr/src/linux/Documentation/pm.txt: "No sorry, you can not have both ACPI and APM enabled and running at once. Some people with broken ACPI or broken APM implementations would like to use both to get a full set of working features, but you simply can not mix and match the two. Only one power management interface can be in control of the machine at once. Think about it.." (This goes for 2.4 and 2.6) I guess that your MB supports apci (as you have a fast processor on it), so maybe you could try to disable APM. > I have also tried using CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF in the kernel config, > but just ended up getting the same results. > > It's frustrating, because it works about half the time.
