Many thanks, Bryan and Jason. I installed ACPI RPMs and enabled it through MCC last night but the problem is still there. In fact the situation became worse after enabling ACPI, I had to press "power-off" button quite a while (> 10 seconds) to trun it off when rebooting. Previously what I need is a gentle touch.
I checked the lilo.conf file and found only "acpi=ht", but no "acpi=on" thing, is this right? Surely ACPI was up. I also removed "acpi=ht" from lilo but it didn't work. By the way, I have set a bootup password. Will this cause any problem? Bests, Q.H.
