Even after setting this perameter in my FC4 grub.conf file, I actually still get my same error that 
I got when I wasn't loading apm.  It just tells me "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".  If this is 
already compiled into the FC kernel is there another way I can get the kernel to support apm?
