Description of problem:
After completing a laptop installation, my Compaq 1655 (266 MHz PII, 64M 
RAM) will not power off.  It shuts down correctly, but just doesn't power 
off the machine.  The APM daemon successfully starts and shuts down.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.logout of session
2.select shutdown from login screen
	

Actual Results:  Halts system, but does not turn off laptop

Expected Results:  halt system and shut off laptop

Additional info:

this is my halt script located in /etc/rc.d/init.d


#!/bin/bash
#
# rc.halt       This file is executed by init when it goes into runlevel
#               0 (halt) or runlevel 6 (reboot). It kills all processes,
#               unmounts file systems and then either halts or reboots.
