I believe this is part of the > applicable specifications. The thread is specifically about the Tyan S2462: I have a Tyan S2462 Thunder K7 motherboard. I was hoping to get power-down to work. So I installed FreeBSD current with ACPI enabled. When I typed "shutdown -p now" the computer halted, and then the video card switched off, and the fans kept running. The computer was frozen - even the power-off power-on button wouldn't work. Actually the power-off button doesn't work at all under FreeBSD-current. (It is a soft power-off button that dmesg shows is detected by the OS.) I should add that power-down works great with Windows 2000. Also, the power-off button works properly with FreeBSD-stable. perhaps people aren't reading before replying. I also own a Tyan S2462 Thunder K7 system and it behaves just as the poster stated.
