I had the same problem (you guessed :-) with a 2.1.71 kernel. Solution
(in my case): There´s a #define SMP (or is ist __SMP__?) in the
Makefile, but apm doesn´t work with SMP. Simply comment it out.

No new kernel? Have a look at your boot messages. Maybe it shows
somewhere "No APM support for SMP, APM support disabled".
