I know the frustration. I don't know why mdk10.1 does not turn off you
computer. I have an Athlon 800Mhz box with a very buggy FD11 mobo, and
mdk10 turns it off after shut down, but not rh9 or any of Fedora Cores. Rh9
says that my bios has a way too old acpi, so it turns off that function
automatically. I wonder if it has anything to do with the bios.

Subject: Re: [newbie] Shutdown problem (update)
Date: Sat, 11 Dec 2004 16:14:26 +0000
Things have changed regarding my shutdown problem, but have got even more
confusing.
But first, I have just connected for the first time today, to get my
e-mails
and postings. I have found that there is nothing from the list between
about
eight o'clock last night (GMT, or UTC) and mid-day today. I have no idea
where any postings between those times have gone to, so if anyone has been
kind enough to send me a reply, I am afraid that it has "gone" :( I'll
look
in the archives to see if I can find the missing postings.
I have been busy trying to sort things.
I have installed several distributions in turn, on my spare hard drive to
see
what shutdown problems there are with other distros. There were none with
two
of them, so I installed Mandrake10.0 Official.
That gave me the choice of several boots:
Linux (no shutdown problems)
Linux-smp (wouldn't shut down)
linux-nonfb (no shutdown problems)
263-7 (no shutdown problems)
Failsafe and floppy, which I didn't test.
Before, with 10.0, I have only had the choice of Linux, 263-7, failsafe and
floppy.
So, I did a clean installation of 10.1.
That gave me the choice of:
Linux (wouldn't shut down)
Linux-nonfb (wouldn't shut down)
Failsafe and floppy
So, I am back to 10.0 on my spare hard drive to send this, and will use
that
unless someone could please give me some advice about the "work-around"
needed with 10.1. Does it still look like hardware problems?
By the way, sorry if I went a bit "over the top" last night, but I was
tired
and the information I was given was a real blow. I had only got my new
computer the previous day.
Any help will be very gratefully received.
Thanks
Keith
