Reboot after Compile new Kernel

[VoiDeR]

I have a Toshiba 1805 S273 laptop and for some reason when i try to reboot it freezes right before it's supposed to power down. When i compiled my kernel during the install of gentoo everything worked fine includeing rebooting. I then upgraded to 2.6.3 and now it wont reboot. Now heres the wierd part after count less hours and days of searching through out dated materials on the web i decided to let gentoo's genkernel program build me a kernel. Well after it was down i restarted and low and behold i can reboot again but genkernel missed some stuff. I went back and recompiled with all the things that i needed (ethernet and sound stuff). The new kernel wont reboot again. Is there anything in the kernel that pertains to rebooting or shutting down. I have tried shutdown -r now in X and with out X.

It should be in the ACPI or APM sections. The kernel config help should explain what all the options are used for.

Do you have both working/non working .configs that you can compare?

I once compiled a kernel without ACPI or APM support. The kernel would shut itself down, print it's last line of "Powering Down" and the computer would sit there until I turned it off at the power button, as if I had an old AT power supply.

If my laptop uses acpi do i need to include any of the apm options. Ive recompiled 3 times at 1.5 hours per kernel. If i dont get it figured out soon im just going to have to live with it :( . I forget to cp over my original .config file so i have no idea what i had enabled.
