I used other distros for a few years without pmud, but with the ability to power off the iMac without pressing the power button... Moreover, as far as I know, pmud is only for laptops (which is a pity, because I would like very much to put my iMac to sleep. but this is another story). Any other idea? I would suspect a kernel issue, but if somebody can confirm this before I try to recompile... Thank you, Matthieu

Well, check that APM (Advanced Power Managment, or is it PMUD on PPC?) is working. You'll need this to hav an auto-power-down. It works on an iBook, so it should on an iMac.
