I tried adding the option earlier and had no positive results. I did
grab the kernel for FC2 from the OS directory and installed this
version. The results were that the computer would shutdown and poweroff
with the kernel-2.6.5-1.358. This isolates the problem specifically to
the kernel and not to other operating system functions. Also, since my
computer is not that old and the BIOS was upgraded with a version from
April 2004, the code in BIOS should conform to whatever caused the
breakage for ACPI power-off. An option for acpi=power-off-legacy should
be added to the kernel, if these BIOS settings do not conform to the new
linux kernel or industry standards. I guess HP should unbreak the BIOS
for acpi power-off also.Thanks for the acpi=ht suggestion. acpi
power-off is all that is noticably broken. We need some option that
addresses this problem specifically.
Thanks,
Jim
