Decide which on you want to keep? i dont have notebook, but I use apm to poweroff my computer, rather than having to do it manually.

As root and with whatever gui or textmode editor you are familiar/comfortable with.

/etc/lilo.conf

Add to the append statement or create a new if necessary. The lilo.conf manpage (man lilo.conf) has examples.

append="apm=off"

OR

append="acpi=off"

You can even search the JL forums or G4L to find lots of good stuff on Lilo and it's configuration. :)
