funny, i've been gently complaining about this but what i did previously is
rebuilding with "make xconfig" and enabling the option (poweroff at shutdown
feature) and only the other apci (i think it's called), and rebuilding from
there. if i check anymore than 2 of the options under "APM BIOS OPTIONS" then
the "power-off @ shutdown" feature fails. wierd and seems to be just a conflict
with features or something.
-APM BIOS SUPPORT
-Make cpu calls when idle
-Power-off on shutdown
are the ones i've got enabled in xconfig. Like i said, if you enable some
other options in APM, the power-off feature sometimes doesn't work. Get's
tricky sometimes...haven't tried rebuilding 7.1 betas yet tho, this is based on
7.0 mdk.
On Thu, 11 May 2000, you wrote:
btw, when i now do "shutdown (poweroff)" the 7.1-2 does actually
"auto-power-off on shutdown"! finally!
This doesn't work for me, I dearly wish it would.
I have an SMP machine, but I think I have the correct kernel options:
apm=on,smp-power-off
to enable the smp hack for power off. (SuperMicro P6DGE m/b).
Does anyone have any clues or suggestions?
