Description of problem:
Hardware: dell inspiron 7500 - 512 Mb ram
Kernel: 2.4.20-18.7

RedHat has changeg  kernel configuration since 2.9 series.

Suspended mode of several laptop brands stopped working since then.

The problem is in .config of the source kernel.

CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y  <----------------------  wrong

should be like 2.9 kernel series: 

# CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set

This has little impact, and solves all of the troubles of apm freezing when returning
from suspended mode.

Every time I want to update to a new redhat kernel I have to recompile it to have apm working again.

Please consider my request and change the configuration of new kernels.
This problem does not only occur with inspiron laptops, but with a lot of different brands,
which can be easily checked on the net.

Thank you.
