Ah... but if it acpi=force doesn't do anything, you have a different
issue. Probably you have a different kind of power management. It's
PROBABLY a kernel issue (so you would file the bug against your kernel
version), but it could be a bug in one of the power management things.
But be sure to file a bug so someone can look for the problem. You
might also try googling the model of hardware you use (or your
motherboard model) along with some choice keywords like linux and/or
kernel and/or power.

As long as you booted once with the acpi=force string on your kernel
parameters (separated from the other parameters with a space), and it
DIDN'T work, then I wouldn't even bother to use it.

I was not sure what update-grub did (I never use it) -- apparently it
restores things back to the default. It probably says something about
it in all those comments in menu.lst. When you DON'T run update-grub,
the contents of the grub menu stay how you set them. Sorry I led you
astray!
