You've installed FC3 kernel on FC2? This might be the reason for your
problems (with all the udev/other changes in FC3). The latest FC2
update is equivalent to the latest FC3 update. You should either stick
with the updated FC2 kernel - or do a complete upgrade to FC3.

With both FC2 & FC3 kernels - ACPI is the default - and APM is enabled
if booted with 'acpi=off' option.
