PC does not power-off after shutdown
:confused: Hi there.
When i shutdown my notebook it does not power off automatically. Everytime i have to turn it off seperatly with the power-button. Does somebody know what to change, so that it will work corectly? Thanx |
What distribution are you using? You may try booting with the kernel argument acpi=off or acpi=force to see if those help. (Some notebooks have buggy acpi that require these)

In Slackware, you have to edit /etc/rc.d/rc.modules to enable APM.
Specifically, uncomment the last line of this section: Code:
#### APM support ### |
Oops, sorry that I missed that this was the slack forum. Got to the thread via the Zero-replies search.

Hi;
If you didn't compile the kernel yourself, then chances are you chose 'bare.i' for the installation and for booting afterwards. 'bare.i' carries only APM support and needs '/sbin/modprobe apm' to be enabled in '/etc'rc.modules' . The ideal, though, would be to have used 'bareacpi.i' or else recompile your kernel with ACPI support - assuming your hardware supports it, which is the case for almost everything from pIII and over. I hope this info helps... Regards |
