Comment 176 for bug 43961

I am using an antique American Megatrends PIII 500 motherboard in a dektop PC. Win98 powered down OK. I have installed Edgy and it seems to stop all processing, and unmounts the filesystem but there is an UBUNTU display left on the monitor after shutdown stops. The little click that normally powers it down clicks but without effect. A momentary touch of the power-on button will usually stop the power supply. If I hold the button for more than a mere touch it restarts. I mostly logged the bug so I could get email notification if somebody figures it out. Power down is also a problem on my Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop (about the same age). Win98 didn't have a problem there either.
