Hmm....
Check to make sure that /etc/apm/event.d/00hwclock is installed, and
that it looks reasonable. Make sure that the hwclock program is
installed (although I believe that this is required on a Debian x86
system). And, perhaps most important of all, make sure that apm support
is enabled in the kernel (try "cat /proc/apm" to see).
Some people have mentioned that they needed to pass "apm=on" to the
kernel at boot time to enable kernel apm support. If you (or your
friend) is using lilo, then this can probably be accomplished by adding:
append="apm=on"
to /etc/lilo.conf, and re-running lilo. Warning: I haven't tried this,
since my custom-built kernel seems to provide apm support without this.
If none of that helps, then I may have to confess myself stumped.
HTH,
Chris
