Maybe the thing is so new, it only supports ACPI? :)

you might need to pass apm as a boot option.
i dont use lilo anymore so sort of forgot the syntax but, edit lilo.conf so something like: kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=791 apm you sure you built it into the kernel? might want to check i think only part of it is built in the slackware ide default kernel. |
You can try modprobe acpi. Or, make sure that acpi is enabled.
