Hi there my pIII can;t stutdown with the init 0 command....
Do u know if it is a Linux problem or a hardware one?

Not now, John! · 08-21-2004, 12:27 PM

There are two power management technologies APM and ACPI. Many Linux distributions use APM by default.
That way an ACPI motherboard cannot shutdown.

If this is the problem in your case try:
/sbin/insmod acpi
init 0

If computer shuts down correctly than you should set acpi module to load every time you start your computer.
Also, check BIOS settings if ACPI/APM is turned on.
