Hi all,
I need an advice, my machine is i810 chipset and using
ACPI bios, but not sure which one i should use in the
kernel config. Now I use APM with kernel kapm-idle .

If you have the option - use APM not ACPI. ACPI is larger, and right now
being experimental code - fairly buggy

I agree ACPI sucks, but I have a SMP box that I need to be able to
powerdown remotely. Is there any reason APM can't do that? I mean, I
understand APM was never meant for SMP, but... ?

You can tell 2.4 to do APM poweroffs on SMP boxes. It works for most BIOSes
