I just tried with APM; machine powers down without problems. It's ACPI which doesn't power down. Last thing it prints during powerdown is: hwsleep-0178 [-24] Acpi_enter_sleep_state: Entering S5 I can't find any specific A7V workarounds in 2.5.66 ACPI code, so I guess the ACPI code in 2.4 isn't up-to-date. The original poster's problem is then probably indeed related to a buggy BIOS if it doesn't even powerdown with APM. -Udo. --=.1LB6C8cVHFw8kY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.3.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+kGwdnhRzXSM7nSkRAqz5AJ4+XL9ysRJ1SxRhWFoFLhAgUh+htgCbBBwb Zro7pwLJs+zjb5/ljaT0YIY= =5g+K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=.1LB6C8cVHFw8kY--
