I experienced this today with an IBM T21 and -CURRENT cvsup'ed as of 2003.11.21.03.23.00 that I just finished building/installing (from 5.1-RELEASE). I stepped into the room and heard my T21's fan running. I could have sworn I powered it off earlier. Shut it down (again) and came back about 15 minutes later and it was running. This time I knew I'd powered off. I rebooted and selected "No ACPI" from the startup menu and shutdown, hoping ACPI was the culprit (I'm new to 5.x) It did it again! My fix was booting and then shutdown in Win2K. I'll try your method of powering down out of the boot loader next time. I was just starting to research the mailing lists when I saw your message. No ideas on fixes but you are not alone. It was a very weird start to my morning today. Regards, K^2
