im quite sure that the kernel config file for your running kernel is under /boot/config-*name_of_kernel*
what the /etc/kernel-img.conf for might be good for i dont know.

i checked mine file in /boot and got similar entries than you (CONFIG_APM*), but they differ.

but from what i understand of your links editing either menu.lst or /etc/modules would be sufficient, or not?

thank you ,
all the other things did not work?
They should have but i'll try this too.
