Bug#352891: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp: apm=power-off doesn't work
Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp
Version: 2.6.15-4
Severity: normal
My machine is an old dual P3 Giga-Byte GA-6VXDC7.
In the past (certainly with a 2.4 kernel, not sure if ever with a 2.6),
booting with
apm=power-off
would ensure that a "shutdown -h now" would completely
power down the machine without any further intervention.
These days it only gets as far as the final BIOS "Power down" message
(the same as not putting any apm option at all).
It would be nice to have the old behaviour back.
