Try this (which will make no difference to the effectiveness of APM on this machine):
> CONFIG_PM=y > > CONFIG_APM=y > CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=n > CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=n > CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y > CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF=y > > CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=n > CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=n > > CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP=n
Reasoning: cpufreq and speedstep don't work on Dell P3 laptops anyway, and the *internal power supplies* of the i8x00 series make wierd noises when APM tries to idle the CPU. The board will do this anyway, without making noise, so linux need not.
