hello guys, this has been really annoying " why i always have some weird problems

"

well, i used to have debian with 2.4.12 kernel, when i used to shut the machine down using "shutdown -h now" ... the power turns off automatically, but then i had to get 40 gb hardisk, so i had to get a newier kernel, i tried 2.4.17 16 and 14 ... large hardisks are supported in those, but my pc doesn't power off like it used to! ... i asked around, and kept reading, no one knows, .... some told me to enable apm in the kernel, i did that, i enabled also "enable real calls power off " something like that, .... the module is successfully loaded, but still doesn't power off, i also checked if apm is enabled in the bios, and it is, turned it off, and back on again.... i tried everything i could
some ideas would really help =)
thanx
