Strange - mine works. Either with APM and 'apm=power-off' on the command line, or with ACPI and a hack to work around the incompetence of Abit's BIOS engineers.
Me: "There's a one-char typo in your ACPI bytecode which prevents it from working. This is the fix...." Abit: "You can work around that by turning off ACPI support in the BIOS setup" Me: "But that just disables it, and makes it continue to not work. To make it work, it needs to be enabled - but there's a simple typo which prevents it from working." Abit: <silence>
Sometimes it amazes me just how stupid some people can be and still actually keep their job.
