If you are running an SMP machine the APM driver hasn't been coded right for
a while now. I've posted patches for this but they've been ignored.
Typically the situation is that the driver exits pre-maturely because you
are running an SMP or more recently exits with a bad return code (and the
kernel tidies up) leaving the power-off unusable.
I'll post my patch again if you want.
Chris.

Subject: Can't poweroff automatically
Hi everybody,
I met the captioned problem twice in installing following new kernels;
linux-2.3.99-pre6
linux-2.4.0-test
I have selected most relevant options related to APM under General Setup and
made following changes to /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt
Changed
command="halt" to
command="poweroff"
re-boot the machine but power still not off automatically in exiting Linux.
Kindly shed me some light. Thanks in advance
(Remark: My PC has ATX power supply. It poweroffs in R.H.6.2 but not in
new kernels)
B.R.
Stephen
