oops, I didn't get to finish my last email.. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/linux-acpi-and-bios-acpi-problem-to-understand-and-giving-out-bugs-469366/ I had a similar problem with my Shuttle ak31 v2 motherboard . First off, this motherboard must not handle ACPI correctly. Ever since FC2 I've had to use "acpi=off" in the grub.conf which disables ACPI in Linux, but everything worked fine (it uses APM instead) in FC2, FC3, FC4 and FC5. Once I upgraded to FC6, however, Fedora would no longer turn off the power on my PC when I shut it down. It would just stop, with the last message on the screen being "System halted.". After much googling I found this page, http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=38210 which recommended adding "acpi=off apm=on apm=power-off" to the grub.conf. Since my acpi was already off, and I new my APM was already on I simply had to add "apm=power-off" to my grub.conf and now Linux will shut the power off on my PC after it shuts down! My relevant grub.conf entry now looks like this: title Fedora Core (2.6.19-1.2895.fc6) root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 ro root=/dev/hda2 selinux=0 vga=791 acpi=off apm=power-off elevator=anticipatory initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6.img savedefault Hope this info helps. --------------------------------------------- I'll try this and reboot.. I tried it with both off and both on, no change no reboot -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
