| Any suggestions where to start solving?
1 - try 2.6.2
2 - try APM instead of ACPI
3 - try the patch posted here recently
4 - google for the "laptop patch"
5 - try the absolute latest ACPI patch (URL recently posted)
6 - stay with 2.4 unless there's something you really need in 2.6
7 - APM has a "use real mode shutdown" option, try that
8 - reboot into 2.4 and then shutdown
With all of the 2.6 features backported to 2.4 in Redhat kernels, the
benefits are fairly small for most people.
