Look in /etc/rc.d to see if the line concerning APM is commented out. It probably is, so just uncomment it, reboot and it should be fine.

Or try adding :

apm=power-off

to your append line in the Slackware stanza in lilo.conf - ie for example

append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=off quiet apm=power-off"

then type

/sbin/lilo

to make the changes take effect

Then use halt as Root user to shut the system down........

There have been a few threads like this and people start talking about recompiling kernels etc... either you've got a different set up than me or you're doing it the hard way.

Uncomment this line in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules:

# /sbin/modprobe apm

Reboot and then next time you want to shutdown, the pc will turn itself off automagically with shutdown, halt etc.

I see now that I didn't type the filename correctly in my previous thread, but that's the way I've done it too.

Just to be witness to the above working, I've done it too.

I just put in the following in my rc.local file: ( I couldn't fine anything in rc.modules)

modprobe apm

Then when I shutdown I just do:

shutdown -h now
-or-
shutdown -r now

Peace,
Whitehat
