So you rebuilt and installed an apm-enabled kernel.

You rebooted your system. While you were rebooting, you made sure the
APM was nabled in the BIOS. You looked at the kernel probe output, or
the output of the dmesg command. What did it say about apm0?

You added this line to /etc/defaults/rc.conf:

	apm_enable="YES"

You used MAKEDEV to create the device in /dev. When you ran apmconf -e
it _still_ gave you "Device not configured"?

That sounds weird.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
