the kernel does not seem to let me load both apm and acpi,
so though now automatically when i press the power button, it does /sbin/poweroff
but now the computer does not poweroff, just software shutdown,
any idea ?
cheers, erez.

you need to create a file named 'powerbtn' in /etc/acpi/events/ The contents of the file:
event=button[ /]power action=/sbin/poweroff

The fact that you see those messages perhaps means that you have "button" built into kernel, since loading "button" fails.
Well, do "tail -f /var/log/acpid" and press power button.

What can go wrong?
Does it work if you run /sbin/poweroff?
yes it does.
I have a link on my desktop which runs "halt" which also shuts down the box.
more interesting, after "service acpi restart" i get on dmeg: ACPI: Processor [CPU1] (supports C1, 16 throttling states) ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF] ACPI: Processor [CPU1] (supports C1, 16 throttling states) ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF] ACPI: Processor [CPU1] (supports C1, 16 throttling states) ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF]
and...:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] todos]# modprobe button
/lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/kernel/drivers/acpi/button.o.gz: init_module: No

Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/kernel/drivers/acpi/button.o.gz
failed
modprobe: insmod button failed
btw... the system is Mandrake 9.2
