r51 shutdown problems


ive installed mdk10 on my thinkpad r51, and im having problems getting it to shutdown all the way, when i send the shutdown command, all the services and whatnot shutdown properly, but what happens is the screen turns off, and i suspect the hd turns off as well, its hart to tell its very quiet, but the power light stays on, as well as the fan, ive tried apm and acpi and neither will allow the laptop to shutdown properly.

It may be solved by disabling Local APIC (note: not the same as ACPI) in the kernel. This can be done by either disabling it when compiling your custom kernel, or passing the "nolapic" parameter to the kernel at boot.

The procedure depends on whether you have Grub or Lilo. Check your documentation.
