Mariusz W and Wong Kwok-hon were having trouble with the poweroff command only halting their machines. I can't see any problems looking over your /etc/dmesg outputs. Could you try booting with acpi=off on the kernel command line (assuming neither of you have hyperthreading or SMP)? That would help rule ACPI in or out. After that, though, I think you're going to have to bugzilla it. Sorry I can't help more. James. -- E-mail address: james | Q. "Why can't I print?" @westexe.demon.co.uk | A.
