I do not get a lock-up with 'acpiconf -d'. Though lock-up doesn't seem like the correct term. With hw.acpi.disable_on_poweroff=1 a 'shutdown -h now' shuts down the laptop as usual but at the "Press any key to reboot..." message I must press and hold the power button to power off the laptop. With hw.acpi.disable_on_poweroff=0 a 'shutdown -h now' shuts down the laptop and a single tap of the power button powers off the laptop. I seems like the laptop goes into suspend mode rather than actually powering off the hardware. Joe
