Hi, I have compiled apm and acpi support in the kernel. For acpi, the only 
option enabled is MPBIOS and all ACPI devices are in. Now I can press the 
powerbutton on my laptop, to shut down the system. This works amazingly fast 
(within 2 seconds or so..)
If I restart, all seems normal so I guess the disk get synced.

All programs seem to get killed instantly too, which can be a problem if you 
haven't saved all your work in advance. Isn't it possible to let the kernel 
send each process an ordinary stop signal so a program can propose to save 
the changes a user made?

greetings,
Thomas
