Dear all,

I have an Athlon on an ASUS A7V133.
This machine powers off perfectly using a stock RedHat 7.1 kernel (2.4.2).
However, it refuses to power off with 2.4.7, with all APM options set
correctly (including power off in real mode).

Now for the funny part: copying the 2.4.2 apm.c to the 2.4.7 and
recompiling yielded a working poweroff. So *something* has been broken
between 2.4.2 and 2.4.7 with APM poweroff. :-)
