You haven't shown us the 'kernel' line you actually used (that didn't work) and I note that you have 'splash' mispelled above. Not sure what the kernel does when it comes across an argument that it doesn't recognize but it may well stop parsing the rest of the line.
Any way back to your original question just add apm=off to the kernel line.
It doesn't work! ;-(( I am completely frustrated. I don't understand such a behavior. Why does apm=off option work if inserted at the grub prompt while not added in menu.lst?
