Ok, I was not precise about that. You are right, that I wanted to say,
that the TM63x does not have an IOAPIC...
Anyway, I know, what the IOAPIC is good for, but what do I need an LAPIC
in an single CPU-system? May somebody elaborate on that?

My problem with Emma is, that I have the same TM634 and no problem with
vanilla 2.6.6 kernel to power-off. There was something around 2.6.4 IIRC,
but it was worked-around by not compiling in APIC-support. But I do not
know, if this issue still persists.

Emma, does your TM634 has the latest BIOS from Acer, i.e. R01-C0O?
