I just got a Sceptre 6950 (also known as a Dell 5000e), I just installed
Red Hat 7.0 on it, and got an APM related oops at boot.
I found that this was reported on l-k in late September with a couple
responses, but no resolution.
Here are a couple detailed bug reports on this same problem, again with no
response.

Here is what got in /var/log/messages, I'm willing to try suggested fixes,
etc. The problem also happens with the 2.4 test kernels.
