Re: [gentoo-user] Re: full shutdown
I know, -P for powerdown after halt. but it doesnt change anything on both PC that have this issue and seems to have no effect on the one that works fine with just -h (Besides, with the number of people using linux, how many would want to shutdown -h without powering down?)

I always use shutdown now -hP or it won't power down. I just figured that was standard. I don't use the -p option and mine shuts down fine. I did run into this one time a lot time ago. I had to change something in my kernel but I can't remember what it was now. I looked but couldn't find anything either. Sorry I can't remember what it was. Maybe it will come to me later on. Like right after hitting send. lol Dale :-) :-)
