Any other instructions on how to do this? I just downloaded sysinit 2.74
from sunsite... and there weren't any specific instructions on getting
poweroff to work. I tried a couple of hacks, but my kernel 2.0.105 still
refuses to poweroff... even with APM in the kernel. Is there a trick I'm
missing?

I've got an ASUS TX97XE MB... I know it should support APM poweroff...
Thanks...
