Do you have "apm=power_off" passed to your kernel?

My computer says "power down" when I shut it down. I just upgraded from
kernel 2.4 to 2.6 in Debian Sarge, and of course I want it to shutdown
automatically. What should I do to fix this?


I had a bunch of crappy dells (is there any other kind?) that did this.

I disabled acpi support via the kernel param: acpi=off
I then added "apm" to /etc/modules so apm is loaded on every boot, and
installed/started apmd (although apmd may not be necessary).

be sure to add "acpi=off" to /boot/grub/menu.lst like:

## ## Start Default Options ##
## A FEW LINES OF COMMENTS IN HERE ...
# kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro acpi=off

then run (as root): update-grub
then, reboot.

I'm sure there's a way to get acpi to work, but apm has always "just
worked" for me.


On my Thinkpad R51 upgrading to a newer kernel (I now run a custom
2.6.12) did the trick (now I can use acpi).

I have an old Dell 333 desktop with Sarge and 2.6 kernel. I tried the
above instructions with no success. Any further ideas?

Just tried adding apm=power_off to /boot/grub/menu.lst. No change in
behavior. Still no shutting off at powerdown.

we probably need to see your dmesg right after boot.  there may be
something in there to hint at what it wrong.
