Errm - Scott, when I did the apm_enable,
remove-disable-apm-and-recompile-kernel thing (plus cd /dev and sh
MAKEDEV all), it solved my shutdown problem (I'd had it on my ASUS
A7V333), but the next two times I tried to start the X server, my
machine spontaneously rebooted. Also, I'm using a boot manager/loader
called BootItNG ('cause nothing else seems to grok my RAID setup so
well, plus it does partition/slice moving/resizing/imaging), and both
times after the reboot my EMBR (extended MBR) was hosed. To
paraphrase W.C. Fields, on the whole, I'd rather have the shutdown
problem. ;-)
