well, i figured out that if at the boot selection screen, if i choose
option 2 "boot with acpi enabled", i can then give 'shutdown -p
now' and
the system will then power off properly. easy enough...

but how do i set option 2 as my default boot selection?  i dont see
anything about this in the handbook.


My experience has been that once you boot that way once it becomes
the default.  Play around with it


i dont think thats the behavior im getting.  when i hit 2 to boot:

It may depend on how known your MB is to support acpi. On my machines to boot default with acpi and if I tell it not to boot with acpi at boot, when I reboot that is now the default.

I am not an expert on this.  Maybe your MB is a "known" bad acpi one?
