I have the same problem, but it doesn't work with the power-button, nor
the keyboard or mouse (both PS/2)
Any more suggestions? Another thing, it won't power down if I use the -p
flag to shutdown, or run powerdown. It just says Power down. And I'm
left to switch it off manually. I'm running the 2.4.18 kernel. 

Thank you in advance!
