Yeah, I agree with the 2.6 kernels being more "laptop friendly" - I'm running a HP Omnibook 7100 with 2.6.1 and it does charms with the old machinery...
Anyway, as was mentioned before - the solution really is to enable APM in the kernel config. - I had EXACTLY this same problem some time ago - and after some research i found out that APM was the definite answer. If you only want your computer to automatically power down, you don't need ACPI - just APM. Ppersonally I don't recommend using ACPI on notebooks - with it enabled i got a kernel panic every time the notebook "woke up" from sleep. And had to to do a hard reset :-( On Fri, 23 Jan 2004 09:29:46 -0800 Christopher Knox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Valmor, > > I use a Dell 5100 - when i was running the 2.4 kernel i have to manually power > down after shutdown - but now i use the 2.6 kernel and it shuts down > automatically.
