Hi 

I would like to be able to switch off the power on 
my machine by software using the shutdown -p now
command.

I contacted Mister Hosokawa would said it could be done
on an ATX motherboard with an APM Ready Bios 



an ATX ASUSTEK P2L97 motherboard running 3.2-Stable
with an ACPI Bios (Which has 1.2 APM ) 

Here is what I did so far


In the KERNEL 

I have : 

device          apm0    at isa? # flags 0x31 Advanced Power Management


in my BIOS Power management is enabled except for Suspend Mode 

when I boot I get this :

apm0 on isa
apm: found APM BIOS version 1.2


But I still can not get "shutdown -p now" to power off the 
machine.


Can you help me ?
