This is because the kernel you are using has not been configured with "Character Devices" -> "Advanced Power Management BIOS support" -> "POWER OFF on shutdown". You will have to recompile the kernel for this to work. > 3) Just after running XF86Setup, I noticed a file /use/X11R6/bin/X: is that > a copy of XF86_VGA16? > Later, I renamed it to Xold (probably I could have deleted it), created > a file X and linked it to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA.

I did the same at the begining but you should move back the Xold to X. /usr/bin/X is supposed yo be a wrapper which gives some more degree of security (I gess I read this somewhare). Make sure the file /etc/X11/Xserver contains the server you want on the very first line. > 7) While installing ppp, I got the warning that serial.o (whatever it is) > should have been installed manually later.

As root: use "modconf" to select serial.o OR issue "insmod serial" to load the module OR edit /etc/modules an place serial in one line. Best regards, Rafa
