On my system (Intel815), the APM doesn't work with any of these options. I also tried the "real mode APM Bios call" option. No use.
I had to use ACPI to have the system powered off. APM doesn't work for me. -Ramesh -----Original Message----- From: Tim Dijkstra [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 5:42 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: How to power off the PC after shutdown On Thu, 14 Mar 2002 11:35:07 +0100 "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How to power off the PC after shutdown under Debian.

And then of course give the correct command, something like poweroff or shutdown -h. I like to type ctr-alt-del on the command line, for that to work (the default is reboot) you have to change the line in /etc/inittab beginning with 'ca:' Good luck, Tim
