10.0 hangs on shutdown
I have Mandrake 10.0 installed, and have a dual boot with windoze XP Pro. I use LILO for the boot manager.
LILO does just fine when rebooting back to Mandrake, or if I choose to boot to XP from the login screen. If I choose "Restart Computer" from within a session, it works. If I choose "Turn Off Computer", from either the login prompt, or from within a session, it hangs, and I end up having to turn the computer off. (I've left it for 20 minutes - still hung). I did not have this problem when ran 9.0, or 9.2. I hope someone can give me a place to look to solve the problem. |
MDK has the default acpi=ht option passed to the kernel. Edit as root /etc/lilo.conf and try removing the option (if it's there). Don't forget to re-run lilo. You have to reboot in order to see if it works. This worked for me when i switched from AT to ATX.

I added a "#" at the front of each line, and ran lilo (as root), still hangs, giving me: Halting system... md: stopping all devices md: md0 switched to read-only mode. Power down That's where it stops |
Well, in fact you should have deleted only the "acpi=ht" part, not comment the whole line. Some entries are still useful :D. Each entry corresponds to a certain boot option.. You can either delete them all, all delete only the one in your current option. Also, you can try "acpi=off". Check my thread. The last post particularly. For me, removing the acpi option did the trick, then again, I'm using a custom-compiled kernel :D.
I was getting the "Power down." message and no power-off before I removed the "acpi=ht" option. After that, It went down by itself the first time. |

I'm glad it works... The hardware can always be tricky, esp. when you have the wrong drivers or the right stuff doing a wrong thing (acpi should've been able to power down, but it couldn't, so it was up to the apm ;)).
