Edit the .config file, and change the line CONFIG_APM and the lines with APM that follow it (and perhaps also the line CONFIG_ACPI):

 

CONFIG_APM=y

change to

# CONFIG_APM is not set

 

Quoted from the kernel-docs help:

CONFIG_APM:

 

APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different

techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with

APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be

reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide

battery status information, and user-space programs will receive

notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).

 

If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM

BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
