Further to my two previous posts about this, in its current
configuration, my home system *seems* to be cutting the power
reliably, *so* *far*. Here is a description of some items that might
be relevant:

1. Linux kernel 2.6.17.13

2. ACPI support enabled in the kernel

3. APM support *not* enabled

4. Using "acpi=force lapic" in the boot line

5. Shutting down with "init 0"

6. In /etc/init.d/halt, removed the "-d" and "-i" options from the halt command

I am not yet confident that shutdown is completely reliable,
but it is definitely *more* reliable than previously. If I have a
definite power-on hang again, I will report back to this thread.
