I got an old jurassic loud PC exhaust fan, so I have no problem
distinguishing it between the other components.

And shutting down linux doesn't turn off my computer is really a
problem, considering I'm also deploying dapper for more than 1000
computers in our university, and I made some scripts there that shutdown
those PC remotely through LAN at 10:00 PM for 300 Hoary computers, I
tested beta 2 dapper and they too doesn't shutdown automatically in
those PC's.

I think it's logical to add acpi=force in the kernel parameters since,
dapper load acpi at boot time. What's the use of loading it if acpi
doesn't work.

I got a jurassic PC (with 1mb video card) but it has acpi support and
fully functional in Hoary and Breezy.
