Hi, I just installed RH 8.0, on a dual processor machine, and also on a single processor machine... When it boots up on the dual processor, I select the RH 8.0 SMP to run, and on the other machine, I just select the default(NOT smp).
When I do a 'poweroff' command on the dual processor, it says "shutting down all devices" and finally "powerdown", but the system just sits there, it doesn't go off..
When I do the same 'poweroff" on the single processor machine, it goes down completely, which is what I need.
I am new to Linux so if anyone can help me out, I would greatly appericiate it. Thanks,
To make it work on the dual processer machine, assuming your using grub under redhat 8 edit the file /etc/grub.conf and add "apm=power_off" to the end of the SMP kernel line
