The Ultra patch is not applicable. The SPARC kernel will not power-down
a system with a serial console attached; from process.c:
void machine_power_off(void)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_SUN_AUXIO
if (auxio_power_register && !serial_console)
*auxio_power_register |= AUXIO_POWER_OFF;
#endif
machine_halt();
}
If this implementation bothers you, consider coding-up a sysctl to
modify this behavior.

Great. I'll look into that. Thank you for your answer.
Just curious-- I've got a SPARC LX running Debian 3.0 and a 2.4.21-rc6
kernel... ever since I've upgraded to a 2.4.x kernel on the LX I haven't
managed to get it to auto power-off on a shutdown. The 2.2.x kernels seem
to work fine.
On bootup, however, I DO get a: power-off control detected.
Or some similar message to that effect.
Any ideas? My LX is running headless, so having it automatically
power-off is a very useful feature to me.
