Hello,
i'm using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 with the kernel version 
2.4.21-20.EL on a laptop, i've tried to enable the acpi in order to save 
some power and the battery lifetime but I didn't find the relatives 
voices on the kernel configuration menu (that usually are under General 
Setup -> PowerManagement)... so i've tried to patch the kernel with the 
official patches from acpi.sourceforge.net, but if before i was able to 
recompile, after ptaching was impossible... so i'm guessing if redhat 
has disabled the acpi features for her EL kernels... someone knows 
someting about? I don't need the apm features because the bios is not 
apm aware....
thanks all
enrico
