kernel-2.4.31 and automatically shut down
 

Hi everybody,
when I run the poweroff command ,the system doesn't automatically shutdown and I must manually turn off the system.
I don't know that which option I must select in kernel(2.4.31 and slackware),so that system automatically shuts down.
thanks for any help or guide

hasn't anyone any suggestion???

You can load the APM module with "modprobe apm". Obviously, you'll want to have that done automatically every time you boot, so edit /etc/rc.d/rc.modules and uncomment (i.e. remove the hash at the beginning of the line) the line that says "/sbin/modprobe apm".

very thanks for your reply
but i have compiled the kernel with ACPI no APM
thanks for any help or guide

Try running /sbin/acpid and then shutting down. If that works, then make sure that rc.acpid in /etc/rc.d is executable.

very thanks for your reply
yes,rc.acpid is exicutable.but when i run "acpid" command ,the error :
"acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy"
is represented.
thanks for any help or guide.

...look at this wiki entry. acpi=force in the lilo append line solved my shutdown problem on my old toshiba laptop
