I was thinking more about the system surviving a reset, then how I did it. I have, earlier today, managed to get my box to let me turn it off with the power button (using acpi=force as a kernel parameter). So that simplifies things, on that box, to some degree, as long as I haven't created a new problem. But the ability to turn a system off NOW, not try and turn it off and wait two or three minutes to see if it manages to turn off, is still a priority. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
