What APM options did you enable? You can look at the .config file in
/usr/src/linux.

I have enabled APM on a 760C, a 760E, and now a 770, but if I recall
some options caused kernel panics. Here is what I am currently using
with 2.0.32:

   * CONFIG_APM=y
   * CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y
   * CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF=y

All the others APM options are disabled. If you're still having
trouble, I would disable the IDLE option. For me, suspend/resume work
fine with these options, and the IDLE option really does cut down on
power consumption.

If you have CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE turned on, that is probably your
problem. I seem to recall the documentation says that if your kernel
crashes during boot, this is a likely culprit.
