I did some research on usenet, it seems like a lot of people using compaq laptops are also having
trouble with shutdown/restart, and also their power button dont work©©
one person said he got it working with the following apm options set in the ©config:
CONFIG_APM=y
CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND=y
CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y
CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y
# CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set
CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS=y
# CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set

unfourtantly i cant verify this, since i can compile the kernel here©
I think we are all getting tired of pulling the plug out to shutdown, and it would be much smoother to fix this©©© if anyone has this working allready, please let us know©

I have a compaq presario 800 series. (the really thin laptops)
though technically the hw was made by a 3rd party, the bios I believe is theres.
I had some prob with getting apm to work, but here is the config for what works
CONFIG_APM=m
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
# CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set
# CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set
# CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set
# CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set
# CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF=y

I'll try both next time I build a new kernel.

Unfortunately I have been doing my own kernels and I haven't
found an APM bios (oh well, Compaq cutting costs). ACPI does work sort-of.
Just make sure you have linux in flash before you play much with ACPI, I
managed to flush the cmos and had to re-clear the bios jumper (grrr).
