Hi I have an Intel Pentium 4 (915 chipset) system running FedoraCore3. Currently, it's using the 2.6.10-1.770 kernel but when I go to shut off the machine it displays

acpi_power_off called


but it never shuts off... even after minutes and minutes of waiting. I looked in my BIOS to see if htere was any chance of being a power management thing in there and it wasnt... It can restart fine from Fedora and anything? Any way to shut down the comp without holding down the button manually? Is this a glitch in the kernel or another conflict or how do I resolve this?

Hello,

I was having the same issue on my computer but by updating Fedora using yum the issue went away.
I don't know which package you have to update since I have an general update, but serching for a ACPI package ould help otherwise try the new kernel.

I hope it helps...

I havent been able to find a kernel past 2.6.10-1.770 as an RPM (im lazy) but ok ill keep looking.

Recompile your kernel enabling acpi. That worked for me.

How do you do that? Is it possible to do it with the kernel installed with APT?
