(hence pressing it triggers acpi and all that sort of stuff, and how you have wake-on-lan, blah blah blah), you need some form of Big Red Switch, and that's it. No matter how borked your system, holding the power button down is supposed to be caught by firmware and kill the power after about five seconds. Cheers, Wol

OK, so I found an actual gentoo bug on this, apparently, if you go to glibc 2.30 you get the problem because /usr/include/resolv.h eliminates the definition of RES_USE_INET6 . They include a reference to a patch, but the patch seems not to work, but I am working on a new and hopefully better one. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.
