For the Record, I don't have a true Solution to the Issue yet, but i saw
a small flag in /etc/sysctl.conf that read machdep.apmhalt. After
enabling that and rebooting, halt -p now powers off my Machine 9 times
out of ten. Not perfect, but a solution.

David

Hello,
ok, now i actually have seen the same behavior. Every once in a while
halt -p does actually power down the machine, maybe 1 times out of 10
boots. Is there anything we , i, can do to fix it? Or help to fix it?
Thanks a lot,
David
Then you propably also noted that mostly if THAT happens apm -C wont do
anything. So the SpeedStep is out of function and the CPU runs on 100%
not matter if you started apmd and used apm -C or not. If you face this
you can kinda ensure that you wont be able to "halt -p".
The problem is propably ACPI related but as I talked about this
behavior a while ago I got ignored because nobody had those "issues".
Also something I face is that if you do switch offen from X to console
you sometimes have a grafic Bug in the Console. Either a thin line wich
is NOT getting "drawed" or other things wich are strange somehow.
But switching then Back to X and then again to console fixes this.
The same behavior can get seen at X too (and the same work around works
there as well). So sometimes I simply have some "lines" at my screen.
If you saw something like that as well it would be nice.
Kind regards,
Sebastian
