kernel-2.4.31 and automatically shut down

nima0102 · 11-03-2006, 02:48 PM

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

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".

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

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.
