Hmm, during the last weekend I've tried this (otherwise I have to pull
out the powercord after shutting down my machine).
The only thing I've used in the APM-mnue was 'power off on shutdown'.
Suprisingly it works. 'shutdown -h' switches power off and 'reboot' is
rebooting my machine. The usual test ('3 times "make -j zImage"')
works fine. Maybe I have to push the machine a little bit harder to
force an error ;-)
Konfiguration:
2.0.35 with AIC7890U2W-patch
ASUS P2B-DS with two PII-350's
128MB 100MHz SDRAM; Millenium G200 8MB
(I don't was able to compile 2.1.126 - some files were reported to be
missed; sorry I don't remember -> something in the drivers/net dir's;
and then my freetime runs out and I had to travel back to work)
