Please note that this may enable APM, which can *still* turn your
computer off. You may need to add apm=off to the kernel parameters.

(Contra-indications: APM does not work with hyperthreaded or
multiple-core processors, or on SMP machines. I understand that some
modern PCs no longer have APM support in BIOS, since all supported
versions of Windows prefer the ACPI support.

Hope this helps,

James.
