[07:43] <NoWhereMan> hi all
[07:44] <NoWhereMan> i've just fresh-installed edgy on my brand new laptop (it wiped out the win partition but I didn't have anything important there); 
[07:45] <NoWhereMan> on shutdown it displays a "system halted" msg and I have to poweroff manually. any kernel option to let it turn off automatically?
[08:10] <NoWhereMan> I've found in dmesg acpi have been disabled due to "BIOS age (400) fauls cutoff (2000)
[08:10] <NoWhereMan> is it safe to use acpi=force? O.o
