Ah, ok. The only thing I've noticed is that there is an interaction
between the BIOS APIC enable setting on an Athlon MP motherboard and the
ability to turn off power after a 'shutdown -h now'. With APIC enabled,
the standard 'smart power supply' button on this system will not remove
power after shutdown. With APIC disabled, the power off/on button works
as expected. That system has 2.4.18 (SuSE build) on it.
