DP43TF-board.
I tried the latest bios-iso from Intel, it seems to be corrupt and does
not boot.
I tried some older bios-iso, it doesn't boot.
I tried to build some Caldera b

I am running a diskless Mythtv frontend client.
Everything is working great accept it will not shutdown.
It goes through all the steps of shutting down successfully including
remounting any remaining file systems read only.
But it never issues the power down command.
Yes acpi is setup correctly.

Hello,
I had the LSI driver loading as a module. I recompiled the kernel
and made it monolithic, put in the raid and other drivers in that way and
rebooted. It is working!
That also explains another unrelated issue.
Thanks a lot.

I had tried holding back on xorg-server 1.5, but somewhere in May at

In another thread, after spending 2 months without a working X server,
I got KDM to start.
