Hi All,

I am still available to hack away :-) I would also like to get this bug 
resolved but I feel I am out of my depth with this problem. (Embedded 
PowerPC's are my toys)

As a quick test, I grabbed the 2.6.26 kernel and built it... but alas, 
it broke... well, from my ill-educated guess, it looked like acpid done 
something and the machine shut down.
