You got to load the apm module first.

Find this line in your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file:

Code:

#/sbin/modprobe apm

And remove the # (hash).

On your next reboot, you should be able to power off.

If you're impatient and would like to test it now then do this as root:

modprobe apm;poweroff

is this in regards to the 'Power Down' or 'Power Off' message that occurs after Slack has shutdown? I usually solve this by making sure the apm kernel module is loaded.

I really truly wish people would read some documentation. And search this forum.
