Re: [newbie] Powerdown problem(problem restated)
It could be something to do with the default kernel and your hardware. You could try recompiling the kernel from the 2.4.18 source and checking the power management settings under the general settings tab. It's a lot of hassel I know, but its well worth compiling a kernel to suit your particular hardware and setup. If all goes well you should end up with a kernel that is smaller, faster, more stable and possibly even more secure. I've had problems like that in the past with some of the kernels and thats where I solved them. On Friday 22 March 2002 7:32 am, you wrote: Hi, I'm using Mandrake Linux 8.2, and yes I have USB.

[newbie] Powerdown problem
Hi, When I execute the command halt linux starts shutting everything down, but in the end it just stops and freezes and doesn't turn off my pc. This is a problem for me because I can't turn off my PC at the touch of a button, I have to pull the plug.
