[ltp] T40 No longer powers off on halt

[Thomas Breitner]

Hi,
I had just the same issue when re-installing debian testing with custom
kernel. In my case the problem was that I enabled in my kernel (2.6.8. -
but I think this occurs in every other version too):

"Local APIC support on uniprocessors" under "Processor type and
features"

Just disbling this feature:
# CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set
and my - perhaps your - system halts properly

Good Luck,
thomas
