I have been using 2.6.20 -16 with an old PIII 500 desktop. It has an
American Megatrends motherboard, BIOS 3.1 (1997). The bug still exists
in 2.6.20 with this setup. The only way I can shut it down is to pull
the plug (after running shutdown, of course).

Shutdown powered down OK with Win98 and 5.04 (hoary) but not with edgy
or feisty (6.10 or 7.04). I don't remember what kernel 5.04 ran on.
