Have hd-installed and tried 2.2b and 2.3. Whenever I execute the shutdown command, DSL doesn't quite power down the laptop completely. It shuts off all services, etc., even blanks the screen, but the power remains on. Is there an additional command in a script I need to add to get it to power down completely?

Thanks!

I suppose no one else has ever seen this?

I guess it's some feature you have to turn off in the bios.
I am not sure if the kernel that comes with dsl (2.4.something) actually deals with power management.
2.6.xx surely does.

I have to turn off my laptop too. I believe there is a kernel option that needs to be included.

No, that's an apm or apci option that's usually in the BIOS. If there is no shutdown option, then you may need to upgrade your BIOS although I have made it work even with former Win95 machines.
