Hmm - i reckoned that was it when i read your post. i looked about and
apmd was not installed. I have it installed now and mandrake has it's
own init script. however it's still not working:(
[root at domain gohan john]# modprobe apmd
modprobe: Can't locate module apmd
[root at domain gohan john]# lsmod

i'm hoping this output is some help. is the module called apmd?
