Shutdown Problem
 

I can shutdown the system (Redhat 8.0) with
"halt" or "shutdown -h now" or "init 0"
but after the shutdown process was done,
my HDD's still running.

I used to get about this problem with my Slack Box
I can use "modprob apm" to use apm communicate with
BIOS to power off the system but In RedHat Box I can't.

I think it (Redhat) maybe use acpi instead .
How to load power management module
to kernel for power off PC when I shutdown.

Thanks a lot in advance.

PS. my system is not installed X window.

i tried that command, and it didn't work for me.

No. To install apmd in debian:To disable ACPI on both Debian and RedHat, add the following to the end of the boot configuration:
By the way, isn't Redhat 8 a bit old?! It's strongly recommended to upgrade your system to Fedora, CentOS, etc. which at least have some level of secuity update - that is, unless you are using Progeny offcourse.
