power control..(APM/ACPI?)

2002-02-25 Thread Julian Elischer


In the not to distant past (3 months?) My -current laptop kernel (with apm
in it I believe,(it's not here)) would repond to a halt -p by switching
off the power.

Since January, this has stopped working. (I now have to wait around until
I see the message and hit the power button manually.) If I'm remote I have
to call home and ask someone to turn it off.

Is there something I should have noticed? I see nothing in
UPDATING.

Ditto here.  My Dell notebook has ceased powering off.  I've been meaning
to submit a PR along with the dmesg output (plus some of the whining, I
think from ACPI), but just haven't got to it.  I'll try to do so tomorrow.
