I have an old backup machine that doesn't reboot or powerdown in Linux, but yesterday I got the idea to try apm=off at bootup. The machine now reboots and powers down perfectly.
I'd like to know why, but the only anomaly I noticed is that APM is disabled in the BIOS. If APM is disabled in the bios, does that mean you _must_ turn it off in Linux also to allow reboots and powerdowns to work? Or is that just a coincidence on my machine? Miark
