Spontaneous reboot after ACPI shutdown

[andrew morton]

Humm didn't seem to fix it. I updated the kernel to CURRENT and powered 
down and waited for it to happen. I waited 15 minutes and nothing 
happen. I booted up, did some work, then shutdown, put it in my bag and 
headed off to class. When I got to class I opened my bag and found it 
had powered on.

I'm thinking that it might take longer than I'd suspected, or have 
something to do with changing to and from AC power. I'll post more if I 
figure something out.
