Even though APM is supposed to be compiled into the kernel on FC4 "so I

the kernel with APM support? I have tried googling it but really didn't have
any luck on finding something specific to APM.
I have tried the following (That makes me believe there is no Kernel
Support):
Append acpi=off in the grub.conf file, I tried to susped my machine and I got
the following:
They Suspend Command '/usr/bin/apm -s' was unsucssful" and if I do it from
the command line it tells me "No APM Support in Kernel".
Did you run "apm -s" as root?
What happens when you press the sleep button?
What is the output of lsmod?
In the bootup messages, is there a line about starting the apmd service?
Is there a line later on about starting the ACPI service?
That is the same error that I get when I don't have "acpi=off" to the
grub.conf file.
Makes sense (sort of). The command fails either way, apparently because
it can't communicate with apmd.
