I KNOW that this has been asked before, but I can't find the answer in the archives or in twiki. Sorry for asking it again.
I have a new machine, and now, when I close down, everything closes down correctly, but then Mandrake does not actually switch the computer off.
If I remember correctly, there is something to change in the lilo.conf file, but I can't remember what it is - not having needed it before.
Please, what is it?
Many thanks
Keith
In /etc/lilo.conf try editing the append-line, especially the apic thing. Remove it completely or set it to apic=ht or noapic.

Kaj, I think you're mixing up apic and acpi!
The options for apic include noapic and/or nolapic. The options for acpi include acpi=on, acpi=off and acpi=ht.
There doesn't seem to be any "magic formula" for which combinations of these options will work - it seems to be just a case of trial and error until you hit the particular combination that will give you a clean shutdown.
Keith, if you still have problems after checking all possible combinations of apic & acpi, you might need to try a different kernel.
