Hmm... I have to try that .. and see what happens. It would be annoying though. Half the time I use that laptop as a "head-less" machine, do a WOL, run things with redirected X11.. and when done, shut it down. So it sounds like a combination of a linux issue, combined with a BIOS issue? The thing is, I tried that yesterday, I installed Centos 6, and it doesn't show that issue. thanks!!
