Hi

Maybe that's related; powering off under my suse 10.1 with the T22 also
doesn't work sometimes...
It does all the stuff and says it will be powered down NOW.
Then the same lights come up as always.. a short ping on the HDD-Light
and then all the others for a short moment and then it usually shuts
down (and does so reliably under windows 2000) but about each 2nd time
doesn't under linux...
I've only just started experimenting with noacpi, nolacpi and all that
stuff so I cant report on anything yet (used to run it with no
deactivated acpi stuff up to now)
