As I understand it, 'poweroff' is equivalent to calling 'halt -p' which the
shutdown process already does. The problem is that the computer only
actually turns itself off about half the time.
I have both ACPI and APM enabled in the kernel. Although because my cpu is
hyperthreading I get this warning in the kernel messages:
apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16ac)
apm: disabled - APM is not SMP safe.
I have also tried using CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF in the kernel config,
but just ended up getting the same results.
It's frustrating, because it works about half the time. So I know that it
*can* turn my computer off. I just don't know what's preventing it!
