I boot non-ACPI kernels all the time:

  mercury:~> grep -E 'PM|ACPI' /proc/config.gz 
  mercury:~> 
  mercury:~> uname -a
  Linux mercury 2.6.38-tip+ #110579 SMP Sat Mar 26 11:47:58 CET 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

How does it fail for you?

Could you describe the steps you'd like to see from folks using APM to see it 
tested? What kernel configs, BIOS options, etc., what should they see in the 
syslog, etc. - to make sure APM mode is still working fine?

Thanks,

	Ingo
