the notebook was not powering off after shutdown. in some message board threads, "acpi=off" or "acpi=force" as grub args were recommended. what worked was adding the line "apm power_off=1" in /etc/modules.
what's next is to find out what's wrong with the pcmcia xircom network card. i still have to eject & insert the card in order to make it pick it up.
