I've tried the various things which people suggested earlier today and unfortunately nothing worked because the system is a Dual processor system. This is what the bootup sequence says: apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x07 (Driver version 1.16) apm: disabled - APM is not SMP safe. without this, the server will just not powerdown regardless what I do. However, when booting in UniProcessor mode, the kernel loads APMd without issues AND powers off without issues. I stopped APMd and tested it in UP, and it still powers off. This is keeping identical BIOS settings with the only difference being between booting from UP mode or SMP mode. UP works, SMP don't. This occurs on 3 SMP server I have, all running RH8 and 2 UP desktops running RH8. So from all this, it doesn't look like I can get this working as long as SMP mode is enabled.
