In GENERIC_LAPTOP 1.142, some acpi options were added. This breaks apm,
which is arguably much more valuable than acpi, given that as far as I know
suspend doesn't work yet with acpi. (If we do want acpi on laptops, the
various acpi devices should be defined, too.)
I suggest deleting the
acpi0 at mainbus0
and (probably)
options ACPI_ACTIVATE_DEV # If set, activate inactive devices
lines. (Aside: I build my kernels via a #include of the GENERIC, plus
a few custom additions. Is there any way to explicitly delete a device
from an included file -- something like 'no acpi0 at mainbus0'?
