I appended "acpi=off apm=on" to the kernel line but still received the
message that APM is not supported by the kernel.
I also noticed that, when I tried to invoke apm, my fan never stopped
running. Thanks to a previous message, I know my notebook (HP ze4560)
does not provide apm. (Does any one think a newer BIOS may help this?)
So I went back to acpi. The command "echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep" put the
system to sleep. But, I was not able to wake it up. I had to do a hard
reboot.
Tough luck! But my wholehearted thanks for the discussions and helpful
comments.
