> I guess: you have fogotten the "machtype=8.9" kernel command line, Your guess was correct. In fact, I had used 8.9 for some time, then tried without it, decided it didn't make any difference, discarded it and didn't think of trying it again when I started running into problems. Doh! I confirm that adding machtype=8.9 to the boot command line makes poweroff work all the way to the end (i.e., the machine actually powers off), and that it also brings /proc/apm back to a functional state. Thanks! Now the question for gNewSense folks is whether I should add machtype=8.9 to the in-kernel CONFIG_CMDLINE (presumably this is overridable with another machtype= directive in the boot-time command line, so it would be just a default), or whether I can leave it alone and gNewSense userland and installer will take care of it.

Aha! I didn't realize that, I thought I had only taken a too-early snapshot of the 2.6.32 port, and that my efforts might have helped complete the port. Oh well... > as you know, I'm pushing the loongson support to the mainline, I need > to ensure the source code is clean enough. Yeah, I'm very excited that we'll hopefully be able to use a pristine 2.6.33-libre!
