[PLUG] Shutdown won't power down

[Percival, Ray]

That is most likely what I was looking for. Since I'll be building a new kernel tonight, kernel-package just makes it to fun and easy and I *love* to see it compile on my new box, I'll try that thanks.

This is probably not the answer you are looking for, but I "fixed" by
powerdown by selecting the "use real mode to power down" option while
configuring my kernel (I always compile a kernel for each system that I
install).  Make sure that you select the "enable APM on boot" as well.

This option is probably enabled in most pre-compiled kernels, but the
"enable APM on boot" is not.  To enable APM on these kernels, you need
to have your bootloader tell the kernel to turn it on.

Good Luck
