I am saying that - I have _no_ problem switching off on several different motherboards. Which means it is not a general kernel bug. - I say that different BIOSes have different bugs that may prevent proper switching off. And I have seen it on my system and this was unrelated to kernel version. - are you _absolutely_ sure that no other settings have changed when you updated? - even if this is a kernel bug somebody has to pinpoint it before it can be fixed. So far I do not remember anybody mentioning it. -andrej
