Hello. I just got a new Thinkpad T40p. It's a very nice machine, and is quite well supported under Linux 2.6.0-test11. ACPI stuff works pretty well for the most part, except for one major problem: I can't use it to shut the machine off. If I run "shutdown -h now" the system goes through all the shutdown steps as usual, but never actually causes the machine to power down. It ends in a state where the kernel is apparently no longer running, and the display is shut down, but the power LED is still lit and the internal fan (and maybe the hard drive) is still spinning. At this point, to get the system to finish turning off, I either have to remove the battery and AC cord, or hold the power button down for something like 10 seconds. Does anybody know of a workaround? Is this a bug? Thanks. noah
