APM is for power saving, if your BIOS supports it, its realy meant for
"laptops", if you have a laptop and wish to use it, you will of course need
to recompile your kernel as, (if i remember correctly) it cant be made as a
module. Further more you will need the tools for APM, i dont know what URL
they are at.
If you wish to stop the message at bootime, simply remove the symlink in the
runlevel directory, normaly that would be /etc/rc.d/rc3.d
cd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d
S05apmd stop # just in case.
rm S05apmd

Next time you see "funnys" at bootime concerning some or other "kernel
oddity" use grep to search in;
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help for the "keyword", just remember
kernel options are always stated in upper case.
grep APM /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help
In this case would show you the first few lines of Documentation for
CONFIG_APM
CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND
CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE
CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE
CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK
CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF
CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_MULTIPLE_SUSPEND
(Use grep -Ann) where "nn" is a number, will show nn trailing lines.
Of course using 'less' or 'more' in conjuntion with the "/" node to search
for "pattern" will do just fine also.
