Not that I would WANT to shut down my laptop once I get Linux up and running the way I want it to, but...every time I shut down my laptop Gentoo stops on "Power Down" and doesn't turn off the laptop automatically. I looked through the kernel but I don't see anything that I can compile that would fix this problem. Anybody have a fix for this? It's pretty annoying when I have to push the power button in order to turn off the laptop.

I had the same problem on my desktop untill I realized I had compiled APM (or ACPI...which ever you use) as a module.... Modules get unloaded at shutdown...APM was part of that so the kernel would loose APM capabilities.

To sum it all up, make sure/try compiling the APM / ACPI features into the kernel.

It IS compiled INTO the kernel, and it still doesn't work, any other suggestions?
