Re: [newbie] Mandrake 10.0 reboot hanging up
Many thanks, Bryan and Jason. I installed ACPI RPMs and enabled it through MCC last night but the problem is still there. In fact the situation became worse after enabling ACPI, I had to press "power-off" button quite a while (> 10 seconds) to trun it off when rebooting. Previously what I need is a gentle touch. I checked the lilo.conf file and found only "acpi=ht", but no "acpi=on" thing, is this right? Surely ACPI was up. I also removed "acpi=ht" from lilo but it didn't work. By the way, I have set a bootup password. Will this cause any problem? Bests, Q.H. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have the Presario 2110US with ACPI enabled (you have to enable it on the last page of the install process) and have no problems with power-off or reboot.

If I had to make a guess, I would say that you are having problems with either ACPI or lack of ACPI on the box. If you currently have apm installed, you might want to try to use acpi to see if that works better. If you are currently using acpi, you might want to remove it and switch to apm. Also, if you have acpi=ht on your lilo command line, try changing it to remove acpi=ht altogether and see if your machine starts to reboot, then check other functionality to see if there are problems. It could be that acpi works correctly for your box but IIRC, Mandrake defaults to not enabling it. -- Bryan Phinney Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
