Do you know how the power-down thing works? I'd like to diagnose the problem, isolate just what tells the motherboard to cut power, but I can't find information about it anywhere.
I don't THINK any processes or mounts are hanging and keeping it running. I can't find a shutdown log. The drives most certainly spin down once the Power Down message appears. It's strange because dual-booting into Win2K does the same thing (power down drives but leave mb running). But previous Mandrake releases shut the system off just fine. -- j civileme wrote: > Jeremy Mereness wrote: > > >How come Mandrake 8.2 doesn't switch off my computer after a shutdown? > >apmd is installed and executing, and I can hear the drives turn off, but > >the PC stays running.
