 Yes acpi is setup correctly.
 The runlevels look the same as all the other machines I have.
 Anybody have any idea what actually issues the power down command or

Just in case anybody else runs into this the problem is in /etc/inittab
The following line should be changed:

l0s:0:wait:/sbin/halt -dhip

to this:

l0s:0:wait:/sbin/halt -dhp

The -i halt option turns off all network interfaces which is bad on a
diskless client.

 I've seen buggy motherboards and/or bioses behave this way. But check
 your kernel config. Might also try some different BIOS settings and
 see if that helps.
 
 
 
 
 

Not much to try in the bios. The kernel config is correct and I have
tried about every combination possible just for kicks.
It use to work with a hard disk all the time. When I first changed it
to diskless it worked when it felt like it. But now it never works
doesn't even seem to try.
Could be the kernel I changed to 2.6.30.1 not to long ago but I need
that version so can't go back.

  there's really _no need_ for you to star using new X at this time
 because of its oftenly reported instabilty, lockups and crashes with any
 nvidia driver, make your self mature and stop thinking so bleeding edge
 way..
 X 7.2 runs perfectly at the moment so why to switch from something that
 works to something new and unstable yet just for sake being up 2 date..
 wait some time, it'll all going to be ok soon, so be patient and clever :)

 purple..

I think it's important to point out that if nobody ever ran the testing
versions they would never become stable. You just need to be prepared to
crash and burn once in a while. So backup

 On a related note, I'm one of those guys with one of those old old video
 cards for which I need to use version 1.0.7185 of nvidia-drivers.  Am I
 going to be able to use xorg 1.4, or will doing so require me to use the
 nv driver?
 

Use at your own risk :)

For me the nvidia 100.14.19 driver causes constant lockups. So does the
100.14.11 driver for that matter.
I had to down grade back to the 100.14.09 driver which is stable for me.

Which kernel are you using?



camille ~ # uname -a
Linux camille 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 #1 SMP Fri Nov 3 08:09:55 CST 2006 i686
Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux




Ivtv version 0.8.0 is for the 2.6.18 kernel only. You need to use 
version 0.7.x for the 2.6.17 kernel.
