APM Rejected by Kernel

Hi,

I'm running 2.2.9 on an award bios (AMD-K6 Desktop) with Redhat 6.0, apm
support compiled into kernel.  Small problem- every time I try to enter
apm, whether through the bios timeouts, the soft power switch, or apm -s,
I get the same error message in /var/log/messages:

kernel: busy: Unable to enter requested state.

I assumed that this meant some process was running that prevented the
machine from going into suspend or standby, but I killed darn near
everything and it still won't work.  I know it's a desktop, but I'd really
like to have this working.  Furthermore, it worked under Redhat
5.2/2.0.36.

Any Suggestions?
