Description of problem:

  For my i686 system (registered with RH as 'zeus') - a gBox system -
  when the system is shut down it does not power off, though it does
  to all the way to the 'power off' message.  This is similar to bug
  # 81692, I believe.

  For my i586 system (originally registered as 'maxlimax') - K6 CPU -
  when powering off from the X login screen, This is an AT box with
  no program-controlled powerdown.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  2.4.20-13.8bigmem for i686

  also 2.4.20-13.8 for i586 - slightly different problem

How reproducible:

  very


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Shutdown from X login screen
2.
3.
    
Actual results:

 on i686 gBox: the system gets to the 'power down' message, but does not
 shut off.

 on i586 AMD K6 system, X does not completely shut down, console 1 screen
 just turns all blue. I can switch to console 2, login as root, and
 shutdown normally.


Expected results:

 On the i686 (ATX) gBox, shutdown completely, turn power off

 On the i686 (AT) system, shutdown as far as 'power down' message.

Additional info:

 Both systems shut down properly with the earlier kernel versions.
