I just installed MEPIS-Debian, using the 2.6.7 kernel. Now during boot
there's a notice that "APM is being overriden by ACPI." That's okay, but
now I can't get a software shutdown. It stops and says, "Power down."

With APM shutdown works perfectly, so I want to disable ACPI. But putting
acpi=off on the kernel line in grub doesn't do it and I can't find anything
that looks like acpi in init.d or any of the rc*.ds. I'm out of places to
look, so can anyone tell me how to disable acpi?
