Ok, everyone pay ATTENTION this time.
If your seeing this, you need to edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt
The very last line reads.
eval $command -i -d -p
Make it say
eval $command -i -d
Doing this will tell it not to power off the machine, (you will need to do
it manualy), thus not triggering the apm power off.
There is an unoffical patch floating around, that seems to fix this. I
only know of two machines that were tested with it however. So we're still
looking into useing it.
As mentioned there are some pretty in-depth threads about this in the
kernel list archives.
I believe it's mainly super-7 boards, but i've heard reports from celeron
users also. So my personal opinion is you get what you pay for, don't buy
a 50$ motherboard and expect great things, unless your last purchase was a
386 :)
