 Hi,

 3.1yesterday, and have the same very old issue again.
 But I don't know which package the bug is in, so I have no idea what to do
 next.
 could anybody suggest?

Try passing 'apm=power_off' to the kernel

If you have an older system that doesn't support ACPI, you need to load
the apm module. Use

echo apm  /etc/modules  modprobe apm

or install the apmd package.

modprobe apm

if that works, edit your /etc/modules file and add in apm.

Sorted
