I was using the 2.4.18 kernel and had managed to compile it so that it switched of the machine when the shutdown process reached its end.
I re-insalled my Slackware 8 system and re-compiled the 2.4.18 Kernel, however I cannot seem to get the permutations back to the way they were during my previous use of the 2.4.18 kernel, and now I cannot get it to shut down my machine, despite some 32 attempts.
When I had this problem it was because I had selected the APM kernel features as modules rather than to be linked in to the kernel - when the system comes to turn off the power it has burnt its boats and can't load new modules so the power off failed.
