Well, I had only 2.4.14 (not 2.4.16, like is listed on this www). I
compiled it without problems and IT WORKS NOW (I had few problems
connected with hanging probably connected with Xwindows problems, but
kernel disables PC and is OK now) ! So, I hope, it will be included in
new releases.

It's OK. Put it into main kernel tree and it will be OK.

Well, in kernel docs it's old email. But of course OK - I send answer to
new email.

Thank you for help. One suggestion: maybe in the future it will be
possible to put such option into kernel, that after pressing Power
button it will make shutdown or do nothing (ignore it) ?

Pozdrowienia/Best Regards
