I have built a couple machines using the latest CentOS 6 Appliance disk. One of the things I noticed is when I give the shutdown command from the desktop, it does not turn the computer off. It shuts down everything software wise, but I have to manually push the power button to kill power in the computer. I did a search of this on the Internet and found recommendations to change the /boot/grub/grub.conf file from "acpi=off" to "acpi=force". This seems to work as the computer now powers off when shutdown.
My question is, will this change have any detrimental effect on Rivendell and related programs? I don't know much about acpi and what all it does, other than it is some kind of power control. I'm curious why the CentOS 6 installation defaults to this. Wouldn't having the computer power off on shutdown be a normally desired action? Thanks for your comments, Michael
